Spectacular.

Absolutely spectacular.

This is a character-driven novel and the thought processes behind the actions of the characters are so spot-on realistic, so brilliantly articulated, that many times I thought, "I have done that for the same reason, only I myself didn't know what the reason was until just now."

The audio narration is also excellent. The only problem is if, like me, you have trouble keeping characters' names and histories fixed in your mind when you listen to books, then maybe it would be better to read this book. There are a LOT of characters.
