They felt cheap and really ruined the flow of the story. However, whoever helped to produce this audiobook should re-think the use of the stupid sound effects between chapters. Sean Crisden does a good job with the narration and I have no problem with his performance. The rest of the book is still worth reading, though. The ending was not my favorite and it felt like Amy Lane was using a lot of artistic license but it left me feeling unsatisfied and wishing for something more complete.

My automatic response is Sean Crisden, but really, Michael Anthony's performance could have been much, much better if he stopped overacting. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Michael Anthony? I can't compare Amy Lane's work to anything but her others, Keeping Promise Rock, and the Talker series and any other that involve such character torture leading to a happy ending that's so satisfying. What other book might you compare The Locker Room to and why? No matter if it's one of her sweeter, happier tales or an angsty one, all of her guys EARN their happy ending.
