I've finished The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York, all 66+ hours of it. I feel simultaneously as if I've got my life back, yet oddly bereft, too, at the loss of a long-time companion. It's taken nearly two months.

It was enthralling but also too dang long, as in, cut out the redundancies and get it down to a more manageable, still quite lengthy, size. One of the major disadvantages with audio is that your eye can't skim over the tedious bits as with print. But as I said, enthralling just the same. The Goodreads' rating is over 4.5 stars.

I've got to get back to Amanda Foreman's bio of the Duchess of Devonshire, with which I broke up The Power Broker a bit, but first I'll listen to Kidnapped, read by the wonderful Frederick Davidson, the October selection for the book club.
