I'm a big fan of Justin Sayre. He has an absolutely marvelous gift of storytelling. His voice lends to the story so well, and overall I enjoyed the nuances of some of the characters. However, Davis, our protagonist of the story, if you can call him that, quickly devolves from someone who has a biting wit and honesty to a petulant child. It's frustrating when someone is mad at everyone and everything but never takes the time to try and resolve their grievances. Strangely enough, I thought Davis and Nannie were shockingly similar in their stubbornness and inability to consider someone else's point of view. Still, Sayre does such a wonderful job telling the story so that I can look over a particularly unlikable character or two.
