just okay

The book is lacking in action, but has some insight into the human experience with death, adultry, and family. I found I was sometimes bored, but then surprised with some new way to express and explain our ties to one another. Loved the narrator

Very boring

I listened to a couple hours of this hoping it would get better. It is so boring and the narrator drones on. You don't care about any of the characters.

BORING!!

More of a narrative than dialogue between characters. I couldn't finish it. I had to quit listening after chapter 3.

Yawn….

Had high hopes based on the predecessor, but this did not live up to them. I kept waiting for any light or funny moments or even some clenching mystery…but it was drawn out and frankly boring. Same storyline over and over..and no definitive ending. Felt like a waste of time but I was hoping it would get better! The narration was good and easy to listen to, just needed more content to make it worth the time.
