Usually, when I listen to audiobooks, I feel a little bit sad that I don't have the ability to read everything in print. It often feels like I am missing out on the experience of the book. For whatever reason, the talent of Korey Jackson reading this book to me felt like I was experiencing it exactly as I was meant to. There is such a wide diversity of characters in this book and he was able to embody every one. Maybe part of it is because of my own racial/cultural lens- this book being performed within my head would not have the needed life experience to truly capture it. But, I have read plenty of books where that was not the case.

Anyway, the writing in this is phenomenal. Chris Stuck needs to get way more publishing deals. Would love to see what he could do with a full length novel as well. Anyone who can write the range of people the way he did here, every one of them believable and real, leads me to think he could write about anything.
