I recognize that for there to be character development the character must start from some low point and rise but this main character was absolutely obnoxious. It took 3/4 of the book for him to become a half-decent person. Some of the oversights were SO stupid. Were not for the fact that I paid cash for the book I would return it. Had I been able to return it, I would not have left this review as a small kindness, but as fate would have it I can save a few folks some annoyance. The narration is top notch although some of the sound effects when eating are a bit overdone, but that’s a small thing. Award-winning narration, cannot cover for a garbage main character. The ending was OK; I only made it to the end because I hate not finishing a book. I nearly stopped 5 or 6 times. I had to force myself to finish, and afterward, I wanted to bleach my brain by watching the news of all things.
