I listened to this one, and didn&#8217;t feel engaged in the story until the last few tracks of the last disc, but then I was suddenly all in.<br \/>There was some unnecessary repetition in the story-telling (to the point where I checked the disc to be sure it hadn&#8217;t back-tracked on me), but it was interesting that well-known stories, such as the Tower of Babel were drawn in to the story. I did have a hard time with how time was discovered, and what I know about the length of days and nights, and how they change throughout the year, that gave lie to the story being presented.<br \/>Recommended for adults and teens (due to the story of the teen girl). I don&#8217;t recommend it for the list. -Kirsten Rundquist Corbett, Sandown PL<\/p>\n<p>I liked this book, but I haven&#8217;t had much luck with teens reading it\/enjoy it. &#8211; Kelly Budd, Keene High School<\/p>\n<p>This is an OK book, I don&#8217;t think it is as strong as some of Albom&#8217;s other titles and it hasn&#8217;t much teen appeal.
