Summary: Great audiobook
Review: This is a good read, but I was particularly impressed with how it came across as an audiobook. I do lots of these, and this was most impressive. The entire book is in the first person, but with many different perspectives. A different narator was used for each person, and they had very different voices and styles. Each narrator really brought something to the role, and the voices had a way of focusing on their perspective in a way that I don't think would be capture by simply the written word. It also contained the most intense scene in any audiobook I have listened to as one protagonist struggles with a critical decision that pits family against morality against personal benefits, and as a listener we get to hear various views on the situation by different participants. Enjoy.
