I listened to this book a few years ago and wanted to read it to see if I felt any different about the story, the characters, and the underlying message. I have to say that reading it is a wholly different experience and my understanding of the book is much better. Not that I think I remembered much of it (I didn't), but using my senses differently and imagined the book differently while reading it than how I remembered it.

I think the book is still a good book and deserved another experience and I am glad I did.
