Reviews

interesting but ......


(5 stars)

interesting but I have trouble with drama where it is probable that someone will be physically or emotionally hurt. I get too attached to characters and relationships. At one point I had enough of the rollercoaster stress and turned the recording off. Then I noticed there were only a few minutes left of the book. I am glad I turned it back on and finished it. Even knowing the end I don't know that I could listen again. Glad I heard it once though. Great reader. I am slowly working through all the books he has read and hope he keeps reading.

Very well read. The story on the other hand is wierd. I feel that it was written more as a by-product of the author's interest in mysticism, rather than some idea of a narrative.

what a b#tch!

The whistle in the reader's voice is very offputting.
