I rarely listen or read fiction; I am far more interested in things that are true. The only fiction I read is historical fiction based on true events. My friends have told me that this is a failure of my imagination, and I should expand my horizons. So I picked up this book, and was surprised to find that I was riveted by it, and believed in the possibility of every emotion and circumstance. Even if the story itself was not technically non-fiction. It read like non-fiction, and I was hooked, listening at every available opportunity until I finished it. And I was sorry to have it end. Usually, I feel a sense of satisfaction when a book is finished, but I wanted this one to go on. Excellent narration, writing, and structure. Just a great book, all the way around.
