About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Juan Diego’s little sister is a mind reader. As a teenager, he struggles to keep anything secret – Lupe knows all the worst things that go through his mind. And sometimes she knows more. What a terrible burden it is to know – or to think you know – your future, or worse, the future of someone you love. What might a young girl be driven to do if she thought she had the power to change what lies ahead?
Later in life, Juan Diego embarks on a journey to fulfil a promise he made in his youth. It is a long story and it has long awaited an ending, but Juan Diego is unable to write the final chapters.
This is the story of what happens when the future collides with the past.

Can't get enough of John Irving
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely. John Irving always enages the reader/listener in such a way that when the book is over you almost grieve for it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Lupe because she took no crap, and loved her brother enough to die for him
What about Armando Duran’s performance did you like?
He was able to change his voice only slightly and yet you could tell the characters apart, plus his Spanish accent was perfect.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Lupe died... It's making me cry now just thinking about it.
Any additional comments?
John Irving is an amazing author. Please make audio versions of more of his back catalogue. The World According to Garp, and The Hotel New Hampshire at least. They are classics.

I persisted but I couldn't finish this tome.
What would have made Avenue of Mysteries better?
It would have been better if it was along the lines of "A Prayer for Owen Meany" or " A Son of the Circus" To rambling & just a bit weird for me.
Would you ever listen to anything by John Irving again?
Might
