5.0

In fairness, I listened to the audiobook, with Alfred Woodard as narrator, and her voice was simply perfection: her tone, the different characters, and in particular, her deft objectivity: she read with absolutely no judgment. I've listened to audiobooks in which the narrator chose to "play" characters in a certain way, so there is a bit of biased perspective. Not so here, so this was a great format. The story itself, depressing at times with happy twists and turns, is so believable and engaging. I couldn't stop listening to it. I thought the story was superb!
