![]() ![]() I'm intrigured to do more reading of Miller-if I ever find the time. But at times, even listening to the audiobook, there are passages that are seriously well done and that would benefit from a rereading. Depressing sex is just a part of the whole, mosty depressing story. In any case, there is nothing erotic here. There seems to be more focus on sex acts in the first part of the book but perhaps you just get used to it. And then there is the language, which got the book banned for quite a while. You'll have to get over any repulsion about how women are described and treated in the book, of course. I think Miller's prose would work better on the printed page where you have to pay more attention, because by and large it is worth paying attention. ![]() However, because this book consists of episodes and not really much plot to speak of, except the continuing experiences of a mostlly down-and-out American in Paris (and briefly LeHavre and Dijon), it's easy to drift away while you're driving down the road listening. ![]() He's easy to listen to and his French pronunciation sounds fine to a non-speaker like me. ![]() There is nothing wrong with Campbell Scott's reading. First, this rating is based on listening to the audiobook, which I don't think was a good idea. ![]()
