cameronreads's review against another edition

4.0

If you ever read a fiction book about war, let it be this one. The story telling was so clever and interesting, and the book truly captures the horrors of war and racism as well as the wonders of love and music. I did in fact cry. 
Also, the narration of the audiobook was wonderful, with a different narrator for each God. I’d recommend if you like audiobooks!
