Nice thesis. Too many characters. Less characters better developed would have made the story richer and less confusing.

Broad view without bias. Excellent narration. Accessible to the lay person. A must listen for anyone touched by mental illness which is basically everyone. If anyone in the street ever asked you for a handout...tag.

Hoped to learn something other than names and dates and vague descriptions of the historical personages of the Medici. This is a sappy love story that is contrived and predictable. The narrator's voice matches the story. Soft sex scenes are well written. I listened to the end like one listens to gossip. If you're not looking for any more it might appeal.

I had such high hopes for this book. It is a relentless spewing of self pity and wallowing in victimhood. What happened to him and his family and his people and his culture and his country was dispicable, but his endless whining did nothing to explore the issues and did a diservice to the injustice perpetrated.

Here and there I get the wiff of a giant ego (didn't anyone tell him he should have hired a professional to read it) struggling with the downfall of white male supremacy. While I disagree with many of his assumptions, his arguments are thoughtful and well articulated.

Caroline Lee totally brought the story and characters to life. When I finished I felt frustrated that there was no one to whom I could give a standing ovation! Brava, brava brava!!!!!
