The best book.

Revisado: 11-17-23

This book is written extremely well. The story is so in depth and the way he elaborates on many simple ideas throughout that eventually ties into the greater picture so seamlessly is wonderful. How he leads you to understand both the story and the characters is just perfection. I immediately forced my friends to download this title. The narrator is excellent. He also narrates Nathan Hill's previous title, The Nix, which I also enjoyed.

The narration. The story. The ending. This was one of the best books that I’ve listened to on audible.

Worth the 26 hours.

After finishing this book, I'm very happy with this listen. Very interesting. It's really not like any book I've ever read. Like several stories wrapped into one. The narration was excellent, Jean Brassard in some way kept me in the mind of one of my favorite narrators, Mark Bramhall. The story was full of unexpected detours and I was never bored. But, eventually at about three quarters through the book I started to search the Internet for clues as to where this story was headed. Not that I could find anything and I'm glad that I didn't. It felt like being driven on a mystery road trip with no idea of the destination. By the final hour most of tale makes sense. But some things never are entirely explained. I might have to see Tosca in order to fully digest this novel.

I really enjoyed this book. The writing and the narration are both wonderful. The storyline unfolds in a way that you are not quite expecting and the narration never missteps. I'm very much looking forward to reading the next book that Helene Wecker writes. This was a book that it was hard to choose something else to listen to afterward, everything else was falling quite short.

Somehow both boring and interesting.

When I began this book I immediately liked it. I continued to enjoy it until I lost all idea of what it was even about. I would think I was following the plot only to find that it wasn't the plot at all. There were times that I thought that it was so very good, but then it would not quite make it.The book lacks climax but is still somewhat enjoyable. It keeps you reading just to try and figure out what you are reading. It’s a very unusual book. By the last six hours I just really wanted it to be over. That being said, it is a slow interesting book in a way. There is no shock, romance or thrill throughout the entire book. But, it does make you think. There were aspects of personality that she added to her characters that were just very real, maybe that’s why it’s a bit boring. This book feels like nonfiction. It’s a subtle book. I did like it, but I never want to listen to it again. The narrator is amazing. I don’t think I could have listened to it without her voice. In fact, I just downloaded another book with her as the narrator.

The voice in the sample is misleading.

Revisado: 05-13-20

The narrator sounds very pleasant when she is not acting as any of the American characters. Her American accent sounds like its been based off Cinderella's stepsisters. It's atrocious. I'm enjoying the story but I'm not sure I can handle the accents. I wish there were multiple readers. I feel like this is going to be a return for me.
