    <body><![CDATA[I probably wouldn't have read this but after hearing the travails of making the audiobook on the Stern show, I couldn't help but listen. Artie is a GREAT storyteller, but it definitely took him time to settle into reading. Good God! I think, what's this gonna sound like when Rev. Bob Levy takes over? Gary reads 2nd and it took me a while to remember that this was Artie's story and not Gary's because you get so used to the voices of the Stern show people. Rev. Bob was hilarious because he didn't sound half bad, but us Stern listeners know it was a struggle. In fact, he made me laugh out loud.<br/><br/>As for the story, Artie gets close to self awareness, and then dances away. He has too much guilt over his father's death, too much guilt for his own success, and too much guilt over small fuckups. I wish Artie the best, to allow him to be comfortable in his own skin.]]></body>
