Unabridged Audiobook
Engaging storytelling. Opens up the world of comic books while also contrasting this with the "mundane" life of the comic book creators. The two main characters, Kavalier and Clay, are instantly endearing.
Very well writen and keeps you wanting more. I sat in my car waiting for the next move. Rent it. You will not be disapointted.
Such a great story. I could not "put it down!"
I'm in the process of reading all of the Pulitzer Prize winning novels, and this one is one of the finest. My one issue is not with the book or even the reader, but with the producer who clearly didn't know enough of the Jewish/Yiddish idiom to instruct the reader in how to pronounce the terms correctly. I found this odd, considering that this is a very Jewish book with a lot of great usage of Yiddish words. (For example, pronouncing the word for grandmother as "Boobie" instead of "Bubbie" was really distracting.) Otherwise, the reader did a tremendous job with a book that had dozens of characters.
This was my first book by Michael Chabon, and now I want more. Great story, great writing, real life characters in a comic book world. You'll like it too.
