The premise of the story doesn’t seem like it should earn it, but I find myself immensely engaged. Throughout the read, I’m invested in the characters and the creation of an odd but moving sense of an extended family – and ultimately the protection and liberty of it. Jeff Hayes generates an amazing performance, exceptional even amongst his other remarkable works. It is rare for me to re-listen to audio books because you can never regain that initial sense of wonder and discovery, however I have listened to this one multiple times and enjoy it equally each time. My only issue with it is the associated weight gain due to compulsive pancake consumption.
