Controversial: I’m compiling a list of books that are better in audiobook version versus physical book form. Examples: Kitchen Confidential, Nora Ephron essay collections, Britney’s memoir. Let it rip.

The voice is delightful, and the repetitive nameless narration that may be irritating to some in print acquired the sing-song fairytale and even trance-like quality that I firmly believe was intended.

Oh interesting! Almost like it was meant to be a performance. I’ve seen this book everywhere and I never thought to listen to it (I mostly do nonfiction audio) but this intrigues me…

“Broooooo I love this book SO much. Stream of consciousness about a 19 year old gal living through the Troubles in Belfast. Masterfully wrought tension and atmosphere, a beautiful ending, dry humor that caught me off guard, just wow, I love this writer and this book so so much”
