I listened to the audiobook and checked out the print copy from the library. I thought I would read along. I didn't end up doing that - the story was much more clear than I expected (I expected something like Neal Stephenson). I believe the footnotes and chapter intros are by a female vocalist while the main story is by a male. This is a nice dichotomy. I considered going back through the print book to copy down good quotes and such for use later, but I didn't end up doing that. I think I'll just re-listen to it again if I want to relive the adventure.

I did it on audio and felt like I missed out on nothing. I could easily pause any time I needed to. But Im not really a note taker, nor do I write in the margins of books. I feel like anyone who likes to do that would not, and should not, do this book on audio.
