About this listen
The Gray House is an astounding tale of how what others understand as liabilities can be leveraged into strengths.
Bound to wheelchairs and dependent on prosthetic limbs, the physically disabled students living in the House are overlooked by the Outsides. Not that it matters to anyone living in the House, a hulking old structure that its residents know is alive. From the corridors and crawl spaces to the classrooms and dorms, the House is full of tribes, tinctures, scared teachers, and laws - all seen and understood through a prismatic array of teenagers' eyes.
But student deaths and mounting pressure from the Outsides put the time-defying order of the House in danger. As the tribe leaders struggle to maintain power, they defer to the awesome power of the House, attempting to make it through days and nights that pass in ways that clocks and watches cannot record.

Great!
Tried to listen to this book last year and only managed 80 mins before I gave up. Decided I would give it another go and am really glad I did.
Once I got use to the style and the jumpings in time, I learnt to really love the characters and enjoy there company, I will miss them greatly.
Would recommend this book to listeners who enjoy people like Mervyn Peake and Haruki Murakami.

Disappointed
It’s hard to quantify exactly why but I found it really hard to become immersed in this book. Perhaps it lost something in translation. The reading was very precise, with each word fairly slowly emphasised which contributed to the lack of flow. The idea is interesting and novel but I did not look forward to listening. In fact I gave up after about 6 hours.
