“The first rule of listening to an audio CD of a book: Avoid it like the plague if it is read by the author.Yes, I admit it-I broke my own rule and rue the day I did. I don't know which was worse, the monotone reading of the book or the he said, she said, so and so said...said, said, said. An occasional replied, cried, asked, responded, begged, or whimpered would have been refreshing. Even worse, this was a very strange book. Based on the premise that the main character could feel the emotions of the person who made whatever food she ate-wait a minute-What??????????????? Her brother had some sort of similar talent, but his involved turning into furniture and disappearing for years at a time-Huh??????????? I fail to understand this book and do not recommend reading or listening to it on audio. If anyone who has read this book and gained something from it, please reply. I'd like to know-is it me or the book? ”
