cetasmom's review against another edition
I listen to audiobooks at 2x or more speed. By 24% I was having trouble keeping up with the many characters but realized I didn't care enough about them or the story to slow it down and figure it out. Not my usual genre, but I try to consume one book a month about a culture or life experience other than my own.
Moderate: Alcoholism, Drug use, and Abandonment
