Title: One-Dimensional Characters
Review: This story is told in 3 voices. Voice 1, Colonel Behrani, is an indepth character study. He and his wife and son are colorful, 3-dimensional deep characters.As for Kathy and Lester, the other 2 voices, they were not much more more than 1 dimensional. Dubus did not develop these characters to the extent he did the Behranis.I was disappointed in the gross mispronunciation of more than one main streets in San Francisco. This meant to me that proper research was not done by the readers (both).I was also disappointed in the monotone performance of the female reader. She was probably trying to be as one dimensional as Kathy, and she was successful.The story is a good one, brought down only by the lack of character development of 2 of the 3 main characters and naive performances.
