I finished it in print as I was just curious enough to see how it played out and reading was faster. But I can't blame John Lee for what was a bad book.

I was looking for a quickie and picked One Man's Initiation by John Dos Passos, narrated by Jeff Woodman. I think Woodman does a terrific job actualizing Dos Passos's fictionalized account of his experience as an ambulace driver in the Great War.
