This is not a typical book for me. I prefer the dark, depressing, could be real life books - or memoirs with similar topics. It was nice to have something not serious and *gasp* funny to read, I mean listen to.I have a short commute to work so it took awhile to get through the 6 CDs. Maybe I should have made this goal "listen to 5 books on CD" to make it a little more challenging?
