Before reading the comments:

I liked the book, though I read it in a haphazard manner, which wasn't ideal. I say I read it, but actually I listened to it, and the narrator (Sarah Gadon) was not good. She didn't differentiate voices when the POV changed or give any cues to indicate extracts or quotes, which would have been obvious in a text version. (Plus she was prone to mispronunciations.) These things combined made me feel less strongly about the book than I might have otherwise.

Thanks for asking about my kitty, who is currently mostly OK, though we don't know what caused the problem in the first place. So the dilemma is how much testing to do looking for something that might have been an aberration, causing stress to him and to my pocketbook.
