I think the first time I read this review I was a really focused on the topic of reading versus listening to them on audible. After I finally finished this book and felt totally in love with him I had to come back and see your review!

Thanks! I've thought about going back and forth like that. Maybe I'll try it.

I love that your dog Lewis makes an appearance in this essay, Barbara! And thank you for your review - I'm definitely intrigued.

Oh this was a wonderful review! I definitely want to read this one. Unlike you I’ll probably do it on audible. Sometimes with nonfiction I will get the Audible and the Kindle or the Audible and the hardcover and I will go back-and-forth with the chapters. I’m doing that right now with Moby Dick and enjoying it a lot. I am a huge audible person I read at least half my books by listening and I have to say that I enjoy both experiences almost equally!

I love your views on this book. I never would have chosen this book, due to its length. But I just may have to pick it up, as an audiobook that is, to see what magic awaits me there.

Great review! I absolutely loved this book as well, so much so that I started reading Cutting for Stone right after I finished reading Covenant of Water.
