  • Great Book

    I read or listen to this story several times and never get tired of it. I specifically like the new audio, it's milti cast with over 65 actors and I love the original music. I have bought over the years several editions of this book and I read it every few years. I recommend the audio for a long road trip. It's over 45 hours long and keeps you interest.
