Rites of Passage was created with revolutionary production values to be a unique experience unlike any audiobook that preceded it. It's not an audio version of a book that's read. It's a symphony of stunning sound effects with a musical score featuring the Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love along with 82 pieces of world-wide music that completely immerses the listener in a hilarious coming of age, romantic adventure cast with 26 actors who actually sound like 37 comic characters caught in the midst of the Sexual Revolution in the backwoods of Mendocino, dodging the Vietnam War, in the late 1960's where everyone is trying to figure out what to do with their lives.
