À propos de cet audio

In this triumphant bestseller, renowned novelist James A. Michener unfolds a powerful and poignant drama of disenchanted youth during the Vietnam era. Against exotic backdrops including Spain, Morocco, and Mozambique, he weaves together the heady dreams, shocking tribulations, and heartwarming bonds of six young runaways cast adrift in the world—as well as the hedonistic pursuit of drugs and pleasure that collapses all around them. With the sure touch of a master, Michener pulls us into the private world of these unforgettable characters, exposing their innermost desires with remarkable candor and infinite compassion.

This was probably the worst read book I have encountered. Monotone. Cringe worthy especially the attempts of any accent. It actually made me feel sad. Lol.

The written version is much better.

This book seemed to be very disconnect and rather boring compared to his many others I have enjoyed
