Not worth the money
I struggled and struggled to finish this book. I kept going to finish it but only because I foolishly thought something realistic or exciting would happen. It didn't. The story was far fetched, ridiculous and predictable. The characters came over as stupid and not one of them had an inquisitive mind. They just carried on and on taking everything at face value.
Good narrator, but as good as he is I still could not give any more marks. Save your money
