I was enchanted. Fully enchanted. I think listening to this audio book added to the enchantment. I really didn't notice what the author was doing to me until the ending. I really loved the ending. There were many things that caused cognitive dissonance for me in the end...but in a really good way. There were wrongs that were righted even though they weren't "right" and even in a setting where nothing can be "right." This is a book I would love to listen to again. I think I missed a lot in the first pass. 
 Two books that I thought about a lot after I read The Enchanted were One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest because the narrators are very similar and The Green Mile for the setting, "justice being done on death row" ideas, and the magical aspects.
