I made the mistake of listening to this twice while very tired from moving, and fell asleep, through no fault of the author or reader. I amended the situation by listening a third time in my car (and obviously NOT falling asleep) and enjoyed the story quite a bit. The multiplying Emorys seemed logical, as I felt that just as his audience was affected by his interpretations, he was affected by seeing himself over and over, and "worked the magic" on himself. I wondered, once the story ended, how long it would take to fill up the rest of that world with copies of him.
