WHY PEACOCKS? An Unlikely Search for Meaning in the World's Most Magnificent Bird

Narrator Vikas Adam uses jaunty humor while performing Flynn's memoir of his experiences with unusual pets--specifically peacocks. Adam's ironic tone gives this audiobook the feel of a novel, and his excellent timing contributes to a laugh-out-loud listening experience. The overall effect is that of a unique story being told by a very dramatic friend. Deftly woven throughout is information on the history of the legendary birds themselves, which Adam handles with ease. This mix of the personal and the historical is an unexpected combination. Listeners looking for something out of the ordinary will soak up Adam's lively performance. M.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2021]
