Outstanding
This is quite simply the best book I have ever read and heard. I am just working my way through the podcast for what is now I think the sixth time. I first listened probably ten years ago and have come back to it so many times. The story and the characters are exceptional and it grips me from start to end.
Excellent
As I spend many hours on the road I tend to listen to lots of audio books prefer them over music
However I came upon this book and at first I was not quite sure this was my thing but as the story evolved I found myself totally engrossed in it
It is very well written and read I recommend you give it a go you will not be disappointed
Keep up the good work
