A solid story with solid narration

Revisado: 11-10-17

I enjoyed the world building, even though the setting was static. I enjoyed the character building, even though the identity of the main character wasn't obvious from the beginning.

While the story left a good bit of detail to the imagination or to speculation, the economy of language made it enjoyable for me. The reader gets only the most relevant detailed glimpses into a lifetime's worth of narrative and then they are boiled down to a poignant reminder about mortality and the passage of time. Some of my favorite stories are ones that make me work for understanding, evoke conflicting emotional responses, and force the mundane and metaphysical to exist in the same sphere without interrupting my suspension of disbelief. This story does all of that and still offers a solid ending, which I always appreciate.

It took me a quick minute understand the split of the narration, by chapter rather than by character. Once I wrapped my brain around that, it was no problem at all. There was no excessive background noise, no popping or clicking, no awkward mispronunciations, and speech and cadence were good.

I highly recommend giving it a listen.

*Full disclosure: I bought the book on paper, then I won the audio version in a FB contest.
