Differnet is good

I like listening to different books as I'm following Greg around the book business. lol I found this to be quite an interesting story, delving into the mind of a creative person which is abused by the system his father shoe horns him into.

It was very interesting to heat that it was somewhat set in the UK with brit accents. Greg did a great job here, and as usual each character was easy enough to identify with and listen to.

I wasn't 100% sold on the story and the writing in particular, it was strange for it to be told in active tense, and I wasn't sure if the whole story was omniscient, or there was just lots of head hopping, much easier to work that out when reading.

But I found James a character I could feel for and relate to, having been inside a psychiatric ward. He was a little self serving at first and I wondered why, because he seemed pretty cool at the start, everyone however treated him just like he was a pretty boy with lots of money. And I thought he might have at least had some flaws, these didn't really show till later on in the story, and I really think everyone needs to give this a chance because of that. What developed as the story moved on was a very good human character tale. James went through so much, and being so damaged takes a long time to come out.

Great story, driven by real and sometimes horrible circumstance. It makes you think, it makes you feel lots of different emotions.

Thank you to both narrator and author and I'll look out for more by both, :)
