Would you listen to The Memory of Old Jack again? Why?
I've listened to it a couple of times already. This is a very thought provoking book. I enjoyed the audio version much better than the physical book. I originally bought the book, but never had the time to read it, so I bought the audio version. The audio was clear and in the form you would imagine the author to read.What did you like best about this story?
I loved the setting on the farm. It brings memories to my mind about living near farms and growing up around farmers. It was a simple story of how we get lost in thought and replay our lives out near the end.Who was the most memorable character of The Memory of Old Jack and why?
They were all memorable; Ben, Rose, Clara, Matt, Hannah, Ruth, Will, and Andy. Jack's memories of the people in his life can apply to us all.Any additional comments?
This would be a great book for men and women to read. Men might even enjoy it more because it is written from a man's perspective.Great read
