Far Beyond Expectations. More Than a Novel.

Revisado: 12-10-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Having read I Never Played Catch With My Father when it was released in hardcover, I thought I had already experienced this heart-touching and deeply insightful story. I thought I understood what made Oprah embrace this novel and invite the author to her show. Wrong. I had only scratched the surface. Listening to this audiobook version was like seeing it with eyes wide-open although mine were mostly shut—allowing the words to paint the scenes and shower my senses with the emotions this gifted author intended. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll not go further here.

Honestly, I placed myself in this masterfully written story and permitted myself to simply enjoy the ride, feel every turn, sense every bump in the road, and embrace every sensation. I found myself examining my own life, and making discoveries hidden for decades. I normally listen to audiobooks while multitasking, but this time I shut myself away from distractions, and at times with my favorite Chardonnay.

I'll stop here, or I think this will become a tome instead of a review. In closing, I came to know more about James Theodore Phalen—his life, his inner being, and his outward persona than my own husband. And we've been happily married for 40 years. Don't let him read this.
