I chose this because I thought it was a short read but it gave me a lot more than I anticipated. I'm going to have all of my children read this or should I say listen to audible

This version skips often... The story is great and I loved every moment of it.

I noticed a couple of mistakes in the audiobook. The cut offs where awkward too.

Good

I found the prologue needed patience, but the rest of the book was well read and easy to absorb. I’d recommend this version to anyone looking to learn about FD’s life.

VERY well read

It was SO hard to listen to this audio book because of the narrators voice! I should have previewed before I purchased it!
