"Truly wretched"
The book itself is at once mystical and banal, a mash-up of new age fantasy and self-help assertions.
The only interesting moment - and a weird one it is - is the protagonist discovering that he has always felt most comfortable expressing his feelings by wiggling his butt, but that his tail has always been too short.
Evidently, it isn't possible to give a zero star rating, but the book was free, and worth every penny I paid for it.
The reader isn't bad, somewhat bland and expressionless, but maybe that's her reaction to the book.
