With its plethora of characters--religious fanatics, a soccer team of preadolescent girls, divorced fathers desperate to connect with their children, former addicts, drunks, has-beens, and wannabes--Perotta's latest novel would present a challenge to any narrator. (And it seems no accident that his three audiobooks have three different readers.) The talented Campbell Scott, who's narrated novels by Ernest Hemingway, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, and others, takes the challenge in stride, modulating his voice not only for the different voices, but also for a particular character's mood shifts. Still, except for a few moments when the novel makes you sit up and take notice, it remains pedestrian overall, despite everyone's best efforts.
