Reviews
both blunt and eloquent





Jon Mark Wilson
If one recalls the title the absurdity in the unfolding story has a clearer context. The moral and spiritual allegory is none too subtle. Not for everyone, fans of spy thrillers least of all who should look for John Buchan instead.
A wild, impossible to quantify, adventure.





A LibriVox Listener
It’s a wild ride. It may be symbolic, possibly, but I can’t fathom of what. It’s fun, absurd, and frightening in parts. I love it and I hope you enjoy it too.
Extremely Boring!





Lloyd Boone
While this is a well read book, I find it extremely boring and far too drawn out.
bad audio





Christopher Brashears
aside from the background noise, the narrator whistles his s. Can't listen to that for hours.
