So glad this is in audio. The voice really nails the Ben Loory magic.

Bizarre

This book is pretty bad author says in his dedication that you don't have to be Tolstoy but you have to have stories that make sense or have some twist. Couple of the stories I was like what?. after 30 min i was wasting my time. kudos on the art work it got me to buy the book .The performance was pretty good .

Really Great Audiobook
