SO FAR GONE
By Jess Walter
Narrated by Edoardo Ballerini

So Far Gone is about Rhys Kinnick, a former journalist who has cut himself off from the world. When trouble involving his family draws him back in, he has to face the messiness of society and his own past. The novel explores isolation, responsibility, and what it means to rejoin a world you’ve given up on.

The writing is straightforward and easy to read. The tone is reflective and slightly cynical, but softened by moments of humor and empathy. The characters are realistic and flawed, shaped by disappointment, anger, and hope. They feel like ordinary people trying to figure things out in a complicated world, which makes their choices and struggles believable.

Edoardo Ballerini is always spot on, and his performance is excellent in this story. I combined the audiobook with the ebook.
