We listened to the audiobook of this on our spring break road trip. Around 10 hours in I was like "so this should be wrapping up soon, right?" And then there were like seven freaking hours left. How many times can you describe having sex with the devil? So I found this novel pretty boring and repetitive and just a little too cutesy/ forrest gump-y as we accompany Addie as eyewitness to like every major historical event of the last 300 years - you'll never guess the roster of famous (male) artists who have sold their souls to the devil! -  but if you need something for a long car ride that you can zone out to sometimes and not really miss anything, you might like it. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
