Chapter 57 delivers like none other. I thought I would just have to imagine a tune while the story played. But noooo… it was the most pristine piece of work from an audiobook my ears have ever had the pleasure hearing. If I went deaf but somehow had an opportunity to hear for an hour a day, this chapter would be highest amongst the things I would choose to listen to. Most people would like to hear their baby’s first words or a message from a deceased loved one – chapter 57 lies amongst those beautiful things. Don’t get me wrong. the entire book was sensational. However… chapter 57!!!
The ONLY way to adequately describe chapter 57 would be to quote a character with absolute connoisseurship, a complete Bon Vivant:
The Merovingian (from The Matrix 2 describing the French language): “It’s like wiping your ass with silk! I love it!”
