"The Guncle" by Steven Rowley

The Guncle by Steven Rowley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"The Guncle" brought tears to my eyes more than once, and made me laugh out loud just as many times. I LOVED it. I loved Patrick and his prickly, teasing manner. I loved Grant and Maisie and their rapport with their uncle through such a fragile time in their lives. I even loved Clara, in the end. Listening to this brought such dimension to the characters - and just like with my favorite audio books, I wonder if I could have gotten as much from it if I hadn't listened to it? Kudos to the author for -- obviously, WRITING it, but for narrating it as well! This isn't my first book by Steven Rowley, but now that I have heard his voice reading his written words, I think I will go back and get more out of them a second time around.
