Title: Don't buy the audio CD
Review: This review applies to the audio version, read by the author. Many authors feel that they are the logical choice to read their own works--they wrote it, they felt it, they know where all the pregnant pauses should fall. I can think of many examples where this is true, but not in this case.Ms. Smith reads every word with the same inflection-- no change in tone or volume, no dramatic emphasis, no pausing for effect. The comings and goings of her neighbors, the dramatic onset of her period, or the unexpected death of her brother, all are intoned with equal lack of affect. When the listener's mind begins to wander incessantly, it's time to hit the "stop" button. Maybe I'll try to read the book later, given the generally positive reviews otherwise.
