review 1: Listened to this as an audiobook and it took me a few months to finish. I think I would have enjoyed it more had I not drug it out over such a long period of time. However, that also leaves me questioning why it took me so long to complete. Part of the problem was being being lazy and not running, which is when I typically listen to audiobooks. That said, when I am deeply invested or engaged in the book, I make time to listen, outside of running. Ultimately, it is an enjoyable story.
review 2: This book may not be exactly 5 stars, but it's pretty close. Let's just say I was weeping for a minor character midway through the book - and I don't think the book is meant to be a tear-jerker. The characters are flawed, but extremely well-written and developed. Just whe... moren you think there's a stereotypical character behaving predictably, Baszile has him/her do something unexpected without making it seem out-of-character. This would be a great book club read - LOTS to discuss. less
