A tour de force written entirely as a dialog between a psychiatrist and a brilliant if suicidal and possibly schizophrenic patient. This, part 2 of the Passenger two-part series, far outshines part 1, and in fact can be read without reading The Passenger.
The Libro rendering is terrific, using both a male and a female reader to make the dialog move smoothly and without confusion. It is like listening to a brilliant, erudite, intelligent, and persuasive play.
Highly recommended.

Lyrical, elegiac, beautifully written, thoroughly engaging. It ends too fast, I wanted more.
This is the 2nd of his books that I've read, after The Topeka School, and I'm on to his third. Wonderful writer.

Cormac McCarthy is one of our great writers, no doubt. The Road was a masterpiece. This one is very very good, but not, in my eyes, amazing (which is what it takes for me to give 5 stars). He has an incredible ear for dialog, and I'm very much looking forward to the second book in this series.
Maybe I missed it, but he sets up a mystery (or a couple) and never resolves them. Again, might be in the second book.
The reader for Audible is very good.
