Since I first began listening to podiobooks last December (2007), I have listened to many and this is, thus far, my favorite. The characters were intense, the plot well thought out, and the dialogue believable. I loved the way it was told as a first person narrative (not an easy feat), and the way the main character jumped between time periods. I’m not a religious person, but I wasn’t the least put off by the religious aspect. It actually made it quite intriguing. If this story doesn’t win an award, it should. I recommend this for mature audiences, not because of any gratuitous material (there isn’t any), but because children wouldn’t “get it.”
