I have to say that I am pretty disappointed because the jacket description on this book really caught my attention. I mean I really WANTED to read this book. But then I started it... I don't know what I thought I would get from this book, but it certainly wasn't there. It was slow to read, disjointed, and never really caught my interest.

I was enjoying this but I ran out of renewals at the library. I'll have to pick it up again sometime in the future.

"I am like a lifeguard with the terrible, secret knowledge that he does not himself know how to swim."
The Listener has good writing and characters with real promise, but doesn't go far. I kept waiting for some shocking revelation or surprise, but ends up exactly where you thought it would with little in the twists & turns department. The build up of suspense was enjoyable, but without resolution.
It's a good character novel with lots of internal conflict/struggle and interpersonal conversations. Actually, it would probably make a great stage play.
