Morbid but beautiful
It's short, I finished it in a few days. The prose is hauntingly beautiful and the narrator's voice makes it even more of a delight. Reading about death is not fun, so leave it if that is what you are looking for.

Wonderful
I loved this audio book. It kept me captivated throughout . Despite the obviously disturbing nature of the story, it is written with tenderness and I found the story to be strangely more moving and heartwarming than depressing.

It makes the book come to life with the boys words and their meanings. It’s just beautiful

Disappointing
I loved the Marriage Plot so went into this with high hopes. It uses an annoying first person plural narrative voice to recount the macabre observations of a dysfunctional family in a disordered community. All of this makes it hard to engage sympathetically though one should given the subject. Others may like this - he's a good writer but this doesn't do it form.

I enjoyed it but...
There is no doubt that this is a great book but as someone who battles with depression, I found this story a little bit on the grim side and a bit heavy going at times. It has none of the lightheartedness of Middlesex (which is one of my favourite books). Having said that, i would still absolutely recommend it. But also read Middlesex!

Brilliant performance from Nick Landrum
Loved the narrator's understated, yet emotive delivery of this compelling story. I could listen to Nick Landrum's voice all day!

Incredibly written
It’s an incredibly well written story. The descriptions and imagery are beautiful and crafted with such care and precision. It’s a masterclass in metaphor and creative writing. However, the actual story is rather bland. It’s an enjoyable audiobook especially for those wanting something beautifully written, but it’s not a riveting story content wise. I don’t think I would read the book itself, for that reason, but listening to it is great.
