"Great insight into mental illness"
What made the experience of listening to Four Rooms, Upstairs the most enjoyable?I think Linda Shapiro told her story well and showed remarkable insight into the world of mental illness. She did not preach or whine about it just wove it into her autobiography.
Who was your favorite character and why?George. While George did not narrate this book, I have listened to him many times as the narrator of other books and he is one of the greatest narrators I have ever heard. Also Linda who had the grace to hold herself above the family problems.
Which scene was your favorite?When they were in the theater and George was on stage. The mother had a funny albeit embarrassing reaction to the kissing scene.

"Nothing new here..."
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?This book is not exactly time well spent, but it might be interesting to some in a sort of ho-hum way. There's really no surprises here, any first-year psychology student could come up with the same complaints about any disturbed parent, and I had the feeling Linda Shapiro should just get over it already!
Would you ever listen to anything by Linda Appleman Shapiro again?I don't think I would listen to another book by this author, who seems to be to have a rather ordinary mind.
Which character – as performed by Suzanne Toren – was your favorite?None of the characters are especially memorable, but there's some nostalgic interest in the descriptions of the old neighborhood, which I know well, and the old days, to which I also belong.
Was Four Rooms, Upstairs worth the listening time?It was o.k. as entertainment, mild, inoffensive, but finally too predictable.
