Range of Light

De: Scott Neuffer

Narrado por: Chris Koprowski

A journey of finding oneself in an increasingly material world...

An escape from censorship toward hoped-for redemption...

A path to forgiveness and restoration...

One bright morning in the summer of 2011, three strangers fortuitously meet at the start of Yosemite's famed Mist Trail - a disillusioned investment banker with two million dollars in cash in his tent, a Chinese dissident artist escaping political persecution but not his own demons, and a middle-aged single woman trying to rebuild her life after a terrible divorce. Each hiker is seeking something as they explore the Mist Trail, but by the end of the climb, two of them will be dead.

Containing elements of satire, neo-noir, and geopolitical thriller, Range of Light at heart is a literary work of fiction that captures and reveals the complex, unravelling lives of three strangers in one of America's most iconic natural settings. Beneath the thundering falls of Yosemite, these disparate lives crash together in a dramatic climax, revealing both the worst and the best aspects of the human heart.

Just ok

I started over from the beginning twice and just couldn’t really get into it. The storyline is lacking and although it’s well written I just didn’t like it.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review

Range of Light

Very entertaining. with interesting story line and good narrator I enjoyed every minute that I listened to this audiobook

Well written - Well narrated

As both an author and a narrator, I really appreciated this book! Scott does a great job going back and forth in the memories of his three main characters which lets us feel their pain, victories, and angst. He weaves the story using great metaphors and illustrations which should cause any listener or reader some introspection in their own lives. Chris narrates the book in a fashion that lets us know which of the diverse characters is talking without distracting us from the theme of the story. My only challenge was not knowing when chapter changes were happening. Overall, I highly recommend the audiobook and imagine that the printed book would be just as worthy of the time of anyone wanting some quality literature.

Unfortunate Find

I am not an expert reviewer, but I know what I like. I did not enjoy this story. It may be that I just couldn’t get into it, so I bumped the speed up to 1.2, and that didn’t help. It seemed to bounce all over and insult the senses at every turn. Subject matter, ethnic stuff, religious stuff, sexual stuff….. the whole thing is just unnecessary. I am sorry to Mr Neuffer, but I recommend you keep looking for better options.
