The story is good and the narrator's voice and characterization is good, but the entire book is read in quick, breathless preachy manner. Even when it's a calm, no action scene. it's like listening to an over excited Captain Kirk blurting out 8 word sentences as if your life depended on every word. It's exhausting. I'm 6 hours in.....I'd like to finish the story, but this guy is killing me.

The narrator is difficult to listen to. Every sentence is blurted out in 5 or 6 breathless words, regardless of punctuation. It's exhausting to listen to. It is so tedious it becomes difficult to follow the story and at 2/3rds of the way through I just gave up on it because it became torturous to my brain.

Excellent writing and narration. Too short.. I want more. I'll be looking for other works by this author and narrator.

If you have any experience with introspection or self awareness, skip this book. It had a couple of good nuggets but they weren't unique., you've probably already seen them on a meme floating around social media. The entire book is nothing but but analogies strung together which the narrator runs through with a little snark. If you are just itching to read it then go through the first two chapters and the last one....and even that might be too much.

This story never gets old. Every generation should read it and reread it. Excellent narration by the author lends credibility and meaning to each description and lesson.

Well written and narrated. Listening to stories, experiences and teachings in the authors own words and voice lends extra impact and significance. I've lived in some of the same areas during the same times and so some of the stories really resonated with me and provided a different perspective. I loved this book and the way it made me feel and think about the world around me.

This was horrible. Maybe an okay story if you can get over the fact that it is loaded with clichés and reads like the author was trying too hard. The narrator is terrible.....so....so.....terrible. His accents are awful and he loses his place with the characters. His rate of speech doesn't vary much and he's flat. I'm putting this narrator on my 'Do Not Listen List'.

I hope the narrator is okay. He sounded like an out of breath news caster for the entire 16 hours. It was distracting.

It's okay. Shallow storyline...like a daytime soap.

Narrator was good about half the time, but mixed up some of the character's accents. Some of them were fine, others were unbelievable. Having lived in the deep northwest of WA I know ther aren't that many people, who were born and raised in the area with NJ-esq accents. At one point she made a beautiful young character sound like an old version of Katherine Hepburn. The main character was supposed to spend a lot of time talking to the child in a loving, soothing tone....it was anything but. Most of the story was very predictable and contrite. It was like reading a Hallmark movie but without real feeling or emotion.
