Summary
Critic reviews
"The story has the comic charm, dramatic tension and psychological intensity of a fairy tale, but it's full of specific wisdom as well, about becoming self-empowered, overcoming depression, and believing in dreams." (Publishers Weekly)
"It is short, but certainly packs a wallop. What makes the story even better is Jeremy Irons's unforgettable narration.... Irons's voice is crystal clear, and every word is given its own starring role in the text. He creates wondrous characters, male and female, that stay with us." (AudioFile)

Easy to listen to.
easy to listen to whilst going about my day. good story with various parts. different things to learn and everyone will gain something different from it I think.
I was a bit unsure about the ending and how abrupt it seemed but I liked the transitions through the story throughout

Best Narrator
Jeremy Irons does an absolute sterling job. Worth the listen just to experience the storytelling skill alone

Great, but hard to live up to its personal legend
Great little book. but its sheer weight of reputation may have been its downfall. I went in expecting my life changed and my mind blown, what I got was comforted. Jeremy iron is great though.

A worthwhile read
This book could not have been perfect, it came into my life where I was really confused, and this book spoke to me deep in my heart and soul. Jeremy narrated and emoted this story so well.

Beautifully narrated
Beautifully narrated by Jeremy irons (and the best narration I have heard on Audible by far). I found the story itself a little boring though, and I didn't get anything spiritual out of it - and certainly not life changing. The story is okay but immensely overrated.
