Love May Fail by Matthew Quick

Audio book, 12 hours.

Read by Cris Dukehart, Jim Meskimen, Lorna Raver, Tonya Campos, & Tim Fannon.

Highly improbable story of a woman, Portia Kane, who sets off to save her former high school English teacher who, after suffering a brutal attack in the classroom, becomes a suicidal loner.

Book was ok to listen to, but I wouldn't recommend.  Perhaps someone who believes in divine intervention might enjoy the story more.

3 stars.

The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris

Audio book:  8 hours, 46 minutes.

Read by the Author.

The story of Tim Farnsworth, a successful lawyer who develops a disorder where he can not control his urge to walk.  This compulsion costs him his career, his family, and ultimately his life.

Normally, I don't care for works read by the author, but Mr. Ferris did an admirable job.

For the most part, I liked this book, but certain scenes went on way too long.

3 stars.
