Review of 'Lincoln in the Bardo' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

An outstanding work and, perhaps, my favorite of the year thus far. Listening to this through Audible made the experience absolutely incredible, emotional, and deep. Audible hired around 166 voice actors to turn this work of experimental fiction into something akin to a play. Highly recommended for those willing to try something a little different.
