Great story horrible narration
- They need a better narrator great story but the narrator is clearly not from the south or mid-west trying to do accents from there and failing miserably
-
Amazing
- This story is amazing. I like the fact that he had section where he let his wife partake in the writing, telling her side. It really completed the book. The narration was superb, moments of loss, I could feel through the John Prudens narration. Fantastic, Amazing book!
