I love Ron Rash's work, but this one was a bit of a disappointment. His ability to create vivid scenery and atmosphere usually keeps me glued to another time and place. This time I was bored. The last 1/4 saved the book.
Thoughts of Joy
I listened to this one too and felt the narrator affected my enjoyment of it.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ Hmmmm. I don't have any good or bad memories of the narrator. They certainly can make or break a book.
