I had to read this one for school and well it was okay. It wasn't a novel, what I really disliked, but despite that it was okay. A little bit weird but I have read worse books for school.

August 2019 (Audible Original -- from June maybe?);

This took three different starts to finish, and only finished this time because I was bound and determined not to turn it off. I didn't love anything about these two characters or their story. This is definitely one I'd like to return to Audible for something better.

A play about two brothers with a very dysfunctional relationship.

I didn't really care for either of the characters - not only because they weren't generally very likable, but they weren't interesting either. Their motivations were very base and self-serving and their histories are only touched on slightly, so I didn't find it left enough room for growth or understanding of potentially more dynamic personalities.

The best thing I liked about it was the Audible performances by Kit Harrington and John Flynn. I might have liked to see this acted out as a play versus reading it because the dialogue is nothing special but I could appreciate that there might be room for visual nuance to enhance the story.
