This is not at all what I was expecting. I was a bit put off by story-by-monologues t first, but it works well (even if for some reason I felt like I was reading Waiting for Godot in Hell at points). It's going to take me a while and a few re-reads to digest, but at least now I understand why everyone kept recommending it.

I think I'm going to do the audiobook the second time around, hopefully it lives up to the hype.

I feel like the audiobook would be such a drastically different experience from simply reading the book that it probably should count as a separate work

With 166 narrators, it's more like a high-budge radio play.

I'm generally not a big audiobook fan, I think the structure of the book lends itself to being read aloud (especially by so many people).

We got through half of the Lincoln in the Bardo audio book on the drive to my parent's place yesterday. Totally worth it.
