I attempted to listen to this book at my workplace. Impossible. The car and a drive is your best bet. Alone is best too, so you can concentrate and have your thoughts to yourself. The reading style of the author is one of the least pleasant I have ever heard, both delivery and modulation of tone. I am guessing she is letting us hear her 'man' voice, but it is barely tolerable. Listen to it for the candor,insights and uniqueness of the story, but do not subject anyone else to the reading, that's just cruel. I now intend to get the paperback,so I can underline some of the especially good writing and salient points.
