A blown -up short story.

Revisado: 06-25-23

Fun writing but not much happens between the first hour and the last hour. It is possible to excerpt great quotes that seem prophetic such as "nobody cares about truth anymore" but I didn't find anything here particularly revelatory. Clever writing at times but basically an uninteresting and monotonous plot. This supposed to be a satire, but I am not even sure what is supposed to be satirized here. Steven Pacey is a great reader.

pretentious not very believable

Revisado: 04-02-23

This book puts you through a lot of suffering and I didn't really see the point. Lots of flowery language and literary references that also seems artificial. This is the first of her books that I listened to and maybe it is not her best. As other reviewers pointed out it jumps around a bit again for no good reason and sometimes you can't figure out where you are.

Fabulous subtle story, great read.

Revisado: 03-13-23

If you liked Gentleman from Moscow, you will love this book. As in that book, all the real action happens off-stage but in this this book, the narrator of the story is unaware of the real story he is telling. It is magnificently subtle and engrossing. But you have to wait for it, this in not an action thriller but it is very deep.

On my top ten list

I listen to many audiobooks and this one is fabulous. The reading is amazing, and the story is truly epic and has many resonances today.

The best

I love the way he tells an event in a few words and then analyzes it for pages. The opposite of the bang bang plot and action drill of many current novels.

Doesn’t hold up

Flowery pretentious. I couldn’t care about the characters. I liked it once, like a first girlfriend whose charms have long since faded. .

Much a do about nothing

Revisado: 03-19-22

A mystery within a maze within a mystery with no real resolution. Pseudo- profound. Avoid the waiting room as the man character should have.

melodramatic story, terrible reading

Revisado: 09-28-21

This is far from Collin's best. It is a melodramatic tale spun out to fill pages. The story is interesting, however, in terms of champion women's rights. The reading is the worst I have ever heard from audible -- phony accents and terrible attempts to personify the characters. Bolen cannot even seem to read a simple sentence for meaning.

silly

Revisado: 05-03-21

my disbelief was not suspended. The Jewish subplot may have been woke at the time but now is squirm worthy.
