book just like the film.

Amazing book, after watching the film wanted to see how close the book was to it and have got to say I could picture the film through the whole book.

Great story, great voice

Poignant storyline. Fantastic voice actor who did all the accents well, but unfortunately slightly ruined since when I read the book, many sections were omitted from the audiobook, although not key parts, little quirks that add more character. Only improvement necessary.

Fantastic audio book

Love the story, the narrator is brilliant: I haven't even finished and decided to give it 5 stars I don't think it will let me down. This is one book I know I will enjoy listening to over and over.
