A review by book_concierge
The Deal of a Lifetime by Fredrik Backman
1.0
Book on CD read by Santino Fontana.
DNF - zero stars
I quit after about the equivalent of 30 pages. Didn't seem like the feel-good Christmas story I was expecting. I hated the narrator / main character. And thought the whole idea of "the woman in the grey sweater" was creepy and ridiculous.
Santino Fontana’s performance on the audio didn’t help. His voice seemed distant and detached. Perhaps that’s because it’s the way Backman wrote the character, but the result was the same: I didn’t want to continue.
For me, there are too many other great books out there to waste time on this one.
