review of another edition

Some preliminary thoughts:
So now what? I'm finished with this book but I'm not, or it's not finished with me. I read the last page and put the book on the shelf, and I miss it. I miss seeing it on my nightstand, on my coffee table, and on the passenger seat of my car. I was struck earlier today by the depressing thought that I've probably just finished the best book I'll ever read in my life and that it's all down hill from here. lol ...more

I should reread this book
First of all, I do not recommend listening to this as an audiobook. The reader used voices that were largely obnoxious and in my experience, it took away from the experience. I wished I could re-read and highlight sections--which obviously couldn't happen. So perhaps in some future time I will need to actually read the novel rather than listen.
