Scott Turow did awesome in Innocent and Identical and this one is not very different from the rest of those parts. A man questioning his abilities and what he really stands for is always the first thing that the author comes up with and good thing is that he keeps his characters real which means less ideal. John Bedford Lyold possesses the golden voice of an old and experienced man though the narrator is not that aged but the voice surely has the gravity.
