This book was not for me. I did not like the narrator's voice. I did not find the plot compelling and I did not find anything redeeming in the characters.

I found the narration very monotone, dry and boring. The storyline and the ending were just too unrealistic to interest me. I basically feel like I slogged through to the end. I kept thinking something interesting might happen and since I purchased the book and didn't want to feel like I had wasted my money by not finishing it.

Interesting Social Commentary

Revisado: 09-24-10

From a strictly entertainment perspective, there were times when I couldn't get enough of this book and kept listening and listening when I really needed to be doing something else. Then there were places in the book where I thought, "this is boring and trite, will it ever end..." Viewing this book from the perspective of a social commentary it's definitely all good. I think this book, through it's characters, provides a great commentary on contemporary American society and the role that "Freedom" plays in it.

Epic story

Revisado: 01-13-10

I could not stop listening to this book. It gave insight into the colonial/political/ethnic history of Ethiopia and also told a a human story that touched on faith, forgiveness and determination.

A good listen but...

Revisado: 01-17-09

This was an interesting story with good character development, a contemporary plot and an interesting setting. The narration was very good. Three things that disappointed me about this book are; First, the inclusion of sexual perversion in the story. It did not really add anything. Second, the fact that we never found out what all of the ugly business with the main character was. And, the ending left something to be desired.

The narrator makes me sleepy. The story is okay. It might be more enjoyable with a more dynamic reader.

Implausible Plot

Revisado: 07-09-07

I am a James Patterson fan but I must say that I was not too thrilled with this Patterson book. Without giving out any details, the plot was too far fetched. It made it hard to take the characters and the story seriously. I also did not care for the narrator. Her voice tended to be monotone and made listening to the book boring.

Beautiful

Revisado: 06-08-07

This is a great story encompassing contemporary politics, history, ethnic animosity, women’s rights, friendship, and love. Although the story is heart wrenching at times, I was left with a feeling of hopefulness for the characters as well as the human race.
