This book won a Pulitzer prize for fiction in 2005, which is slmost always a good reccomendation, but I didn't care for it at all. Only got into the second CD before I gave up on it. Maybe it was the reader who turned me off, bur to me it was just the babbling of a sanctimonious senile old fool. I'm 73 myself, so senile old fools are easy to recognize. The protagonist's mindset was so far from my own, I couldn't handle it. Usually I'm more tolerant of other people's opinions, but we were so far apart on so many things I wasn't willing to spend another seven hours listening to this.
