Review:

Listening to this book in McCullough's raspy voice was comfortable and enjoyable.  It is a positive biography of sorts and it just felt fun and good.  I liked learning more about Katherine Wright and I thought that Orville's treatment of her at the end of her life was awful, but it is easy to judge from this remove.  I had no idea that my life and Orville's had overlapped.  That was shocking.
