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.

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

(2 stars)

Christopher Brashears

aside from the background noise, the narrator whistles his s. Can't listen to that for hours.

A wild, impossible to quantify, adventure.
