Enjoyed this book

I had this book on in the car and it was a great accompaniment to my drive. The sound was very pleasant and made the drive more fun. The best part was when I got back in the car after my meeting and resumed the book. It didn’t matter where I was in the book. Looking forward to more from Jonny!
