Reviews

both blunt and eloquent

(4 stars)

Jon Mark Wilson

If one recalls the title the absurdity in the unfolding story has a clearer context. The moral and spiritual allegory is none too subtle. Not for everyone, fans of spy thrillers least of all who should look for John Buchan instead.

A wild, impossible to quantify, adventure.

A LibriVox Listener

It’s a wild ride. It may be symbolic, possibly, but I can’t fathom of what. It’s fun, absurd, and frightening in parts. I love it and I hope you enjoy it too.

Fascinating Story, Engaging Reader

(5 stars)

TMB

Very good rendition of the story, with character voices and steady paced reader. A winding journey led by a skilled reader!

Extremely Boring!

(2 stars)

Lloyd Boone

While this is a well read book, I find it extremely boring and far too drawn out.

bad audio
