Author: Christopher Hitchens
Format: AudioBook
5 of 5 stars
It's not often that I start thinking about how I'd like to reread a book just after completing it. The memoir is a genre that I am not normally very interested in, and I barely knew who Christopher Hitchens was before starting this narrative. Yet I found myself thoroughly engrossed, and knowing that the next time I'm not sure about what kind of book to read next, this one will be high on the list for a revisit.
As far as the audio book goes, I am glad that it is Christopher Hitchens reading it. While his accent and meter of speech does take a bit of getting used to (at least for my American-tuned ears), the adjustment for me was fast. Having the author reading his own tale, especially when it is a memoir, adds something special that cannot exist otherwise.
