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.
