I read this book so long ago when I was a child, I had forgotten most of it. After all this time it is still a classic! This audiobook version has opening remarks by Madelene L’Engle’s granddaughter, and closing remarks recorded by the author herself. The book, written now over 60 years ago, didn’t fit any established genre at the time. It took two years before any publisher was willing to take a chance on it!
Certain books should be read, especially by the younger generations, to remind us what type of society to never become. Excellent narration.
Malcomb Gladwell’s What the Dog Saw
This is an extensive compilation of Malcolm Gladwell’s articles in audiobook form, read by the author. Most were taken from the New Yorker magazine. Gladwell has a circumspect way of examining topics, usually keeping himself unbiased, and coming up with new and surprising conclusions. Much of the material in this audiobook dates to the ’90s, so the reasoning and wrapup of each article aren’t earth-shaking today.
Gladwell is still a fun read (or listen) so I give this one four stars and recommend his recent work more vigorously.
