"This is so well written! He captures the inner thoughts and outer actions so easily. I have just recently revisited and am listening to the audiobook. I love hearing the different voices of the different characters. My only complaint about the audiobook is that every American sounds like a midwesterner-even the New Yorkers! Ya betcha!"
