Unabridged Audiobook
It is not an exaggeration to say that I read A LOT from several different genres, and this has been my favorite book since it was gifted to me by a friend my junior year of college. When I learned it was now available as an audiobook, I jumped in it. I must admit, at first I was startled by the narration. Reading brings the book inside your imagination but somehow, you expect that if the characters were real, they would sound exactly how you imagined. Paula was the only one who sounded as I expected, but I soon realized that these narrations fit the characters well. I listened to this novel slowly because unlike other audiobooks, I didn't want to risk missing things of I multitasked. I rewound several times to listen to my favorite parts over and over again. Since my first experience with this book, I have planned to get a tattoo inspired by it's pages. It only makes sense because I think about these characters constantly, they should live on my skin as well. Should I get "Miercoles, the day that sounds like Miracles," or should I get a yellow lemon that says "Your friend"? I still can't decide. I advice you to not multitask as you listen to this book. Just sit there and be a witness to the story. I could talk about this book forever, but I don't want to ruin anything for first-time readers/listeners. I will just say I've never read a book as poetic as this one. It's quiet yet loud, real but magical.
Excellent book. The narrators are great. Powerful story. Needs to be read and passed on to others.
