I haven't reviewed this just because it seemed like all I could say was I liked it without ruining anything. It really is a book that's best read without any knowledge of plot beforehand.<br /><br />Loved that you included your notes from the authors audio discussion! I really want to listen to the audio version now - hearing an author talk about their writing makes it all the more significant. That was a great review!

I was glad I did because it was very well done. I think the best part about the audio version is the added bonus of an interview with the author. It's actually more of a conversation between the author and the original publisher.<br /><br />In that interview John Boyne explained many things that I had questioned or perhaps found frustrating about the book. <br /><br />I highly recommend the audio version and most definitely do not turn it off before listening to that interview.

I highly recommend the audio version and most definitely do not turn it off before listening to that interview.
