Delicious, fantastic, cruel, righteous, self justifying, making full use of the author's experiences tramping the earth!

Always a great listen.

The normal great writing and excellent characters created by Mr Theroux is evident in this book. The final ending I thought was a bit quick. Excellent narration!!

Great story but not quite great literature.

As a big Paul Theroux fan with many of his same life and travel experiences, I always look forward to his every new publication. I really enjoyed this latest novel, but don’t consider it great literature on a par with Salma Rushdie’s, Philip Roth's orJulian Barnes’ best. I will still buy and read, or listen to everything Paul puts out … and I hope he remains productive.

Worst ever.

This is the worst book I have ever read, and I am an old lady. The reason I stuck with it is that it was a book club book. The writing was so heavy handed, and the repetitions drove me mad. I had to brace myself every time the story of the older brother almost drowning on Cape Cod came around again. Also, the incessant whining of Cal was exasperating. The one nod I will give to Paul Theroux is that, at the beginning, one is on the side of Cal, thinking he is an honest narrator. It is only as the book goes along one can see he is completely stuck in his toxic interpretation of events and everyone. I have never read any of the author’s travel books, but they must be more readable than this one.
