In fact I barely started. Uninteresting. Whining delivery. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

“EcCetera” is not a real term.
Please use standard words and pronunciations. My third-grade teacher would have agreed.

Thanks, Doc,

It is interesting to hear one professional’s insights on this subject. I think we all guess that such diseases do not always present in the same way. It is good to realize what a range of experiences patients can have.

Best to your canine office mates.

I read this with my book group "Guys Who Read" and liked the first third or so reasonably well. It reminded me of the "Franklin W. Dixon" Hardy Boys books in some ways. Just when I thought it must be wrapping up, though, it shifted directly from first to fifth gear. What a nice surprise! I was barely halfway through!

The last part of the book introduced new factors by the busload and rollicked wonderfully toward the conclusion.
This will probably cause me to seek out other books by Ivan Doig.

I have read many similar stories in my life but I thought this one was particularly clever and engaging. The way the two readers were used to echo the chapter headings was entertaining straight through the book.

I happen to love the musical era and work of Alan Moore that these youngsters were involved with and those elements caused me to chuckle over and over.

Finally, the dialogue and the characters were spot on page after audible page. This may be my favorite novel since "Geek Love".

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, the information is pretty good. The tone is occasionally snotty which may have caused Thorpe to decide to read the entire thing as a insufferable whiner.

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a

How could the performance have been better?

I feel strongly that another reader would be required. This guy's attempts to imitate Bob Dylan and others made me cringe repeatedly.

-Bob Dylan

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

n/a

Any additional comments?

I'll never buy anything else with David Thorpe reading.
