Awful and flat. How could this have won an award?

Would you try another book from A. M. Homes and/or Andy Paris?

Not a chance for Homes. No mercy at all.I have tried finding the book at the local book store to see if the writing really was a flat as Andy Paris made it sound. Couldn't find any copies anywhere and who knows? Now that I have finished it I'm probably in no position to fairly judge his narration skills. I had the sense throughout that it was the writing that was flat moreso than his delivery so I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

What was most disappointing about A. M. Homes’s story?

I kept listening as I was expecting the story to somehow come together. It started so well and quickly declined into a terrible mess. Yes, there are several times where you may laugh out loud. But it seems random. Like luck. Once we got to the planning for the "BM" in South Africa I should have stopped listening at that point.

Would you be willing to try another one of Andy Paris’s performances?

Perhaps.

What character would you cut from May We Be Forgiven?

All of them?

Any additional comments?

I cannot believe this book won the "Women's" Prize for fiction. Really? That's why I tried it and I will now make a point of avoiding anything further from the Orange/Women/Bailey's prize in the future.
