[Md Al Amin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

emphasis on change in human emotions and relations. And this is great.

[Murillo Collyer · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A book with some sort of synonymous analysis of a life filled with a emotional and mental personal decay, the evolution of the states of mind for the family and the one suffering.

A amazing production that I aways wanted to read and finally was able to schedule with my other activities. I certainly recommend the reading and the listening!

The audiobook is terrific and really well recorded!
