sdbecque 's review for:
I realized (after renewing the book several times) that my best shot at finishing this was as an audiobook. Unfortunately, my library only had it available through Hoopla instead of Overdrive, and I did not really care for the narrator.
Still, I pushed through all 20 hours of this, because...well I wanted to and I'm glad I did. Ultimately though, I really agree with this NPR review: https://www.npr.org/2017/11/18/562557299/bunk-is-encyclopedic-fascinating-and-frustrating - this is fascinating and frustrating. There's a lot here that's really interesting, and then there's the writing style which feels like it gets in the way of that. The book is well researched, but also feels like the writing is over-stylized.
