This book has an audio book available. Avoid it at all costs. The writing is very poetic and could lend itself to well to audio, but the narration ruins it. It's a fantastic representation and interpretation of a rare psychological condition and I just know I would have appreciated the story more had the narration been better or I had a physical book. I'd be interested in more from this author.
