"An absolute masterpiece." (Sarah Jessica Parker, Entertainment Weekly)

EXCELLENT story

Really imaginative and, for me, educational. Clever, witty - even laugh out loud funny at times, despite the intense content. I loved this story. I also koved the first narrator Mark Bramhall, the whole story came alive in his hands The biggest weak point was the third narrator Rustam Kasymov who sounded like a robot. I kept disengaging and having to rewind to listen again; or fighting the urge to fast forward; very frustrating, I can't understand how he was kept... I should have bought the book to read his parts instead, and may still do because the story really is great. (the second narrator Beata Pozniak is fine - not great but not bad)
