N.R., you brought laughter and joy to my soul with this one. What a wonderful novel!
Joel, I like you, but a little advise…back off on the “drama” and breathy stuff. Sometimes a good straight read with changes in tembre, etc, are enough without all the huffing and puffing and “drama” works. And it would with your voice and ability to tell a story. There are just too many times when I feel “on edge” with your reading, and not in a good way.
Listener, this is really a good listen. Done well…once you get past “the dramatic” voicing of the characters. Worth the listen.
