I am nearly finished listening to this audio version of The Goldfinch and will post it afterward. Though it's not a story for everyone, it's compelling and rich with details and characters you will not soon forget. The narrator does an excellent job of discriminating between each speaker (if you care about that, which I do).
Vanity Fair published an interesting article about the questionable "literary value" of this book, some reviewers claiming that it reads like "young adult fiction" rather than the comparison to Dickens that led to its winning a Pulitzer Prize.
That is for every reader to decide.
Note to the next listener: Please do not sell this CD set! It was expensive and rather than selling it, I'm posting it for another swap member to enjoy. Pay it forward!
Happy listening!
