Take away: V.I. went through so much in this installment.
Narration: Jean Smart - the choice of narrator was very interesting. As far as I can tell, this is the only book in the series Jean Smart read. I don't think she narrated many other books either. I think it was an experiment which really didn't pay off. I love Smart from her Designing Women days and from her appearances on Frasier, but she didn't quite pan out as a narrator. She has a unique reading style. I liked it, and I didn't like it, but by the end I was used to it. To be sure, I would have been annoyed by the regular narrator.

Listening to this book was a chore.

I'm glad I listened to this book.
I didn't want this book to end.
I could not wait to be done with this book.
Average, but better than anything I've written
