If you can make it past the first couple chapters' reading, this is actually a powerful, tragic story and definitely worth the listen. Most of the readers did a good enough job.
An okay title.

Good enough prose, but overly melodramatic story with some unrealistic characters. Inconsistent or contradictory themes plague interactions. Narrator and audio quality vary wildly.
