twotoes 's review for:

Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor
5.0
dark funny sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I held off on listening to this because I wasn't a fan of the movie when I saw it years ago. But that was a mistake. This is amazing. It is much funnier than I was expecting although it is extremely dark. The only (extremely) minor issues I had was "wise blood" being used in the text and her using the word cadaverous twice (it is a great word but once per novel is enough - it loses its effectiveness with multiple uses). Bronson Pinchot did an incredible job with the audio.
