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.

Beautiful but Heartbreaking

Didn't expect it but fell in love with this book. My son is studying it as school and said to listen to it. I am very glad he did. It can be hard to listen to at times as there are some disturbing themes (especially for parents) but persevere and you will be rewarded.
