Me too, actually...
I'm posting early here not having heard the last of the three yet, but Witness is awesome. It perhaps works more as audio (hence Norm not liking it so much, being Text Reader Prime?) but the quirky bespoke grammar, the utterly smug and anally retentive programming, the eliding the point of the actual story in favour of a comic monologue - it's approaching the same territory as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. It's genuinely hilarious in places too, which is a big part of it.
Wiggins is good, though I accept the point that variants have been done before. The strength of it, for me, is the character of Wiggins himself though. He's not quite a dealer is he, after all the whole town knows him. It's an addiction analogy, but to something more insidious and accepted than drugs, isn't it...
