"Don't do it"
At one point, I thought I was listening to an abridged version and some important details (like people, plot, events) had been omitted. I backtracked a few times because I thought I had missed something. I don't recommend. In fact, I recommend against reading.
"Loved It"
A very good read. Put historical events in perspective of someone's life - never dull or boring. The reader was also quite good.
