Perfect for my book slump

Why did I not know the movie was based on a book? WOW!! Amazing!!
I loved the movie and I love the audiobook/book. I've been on a reading slump for a few weeks now and this was the perfect story for me. It's fast, the story is really interesting and now I wanna watch the movie again.
The narration was great. I loved Alan Munro's voice and accent, perfect for the story.
100% recommended.

Great Story - Mediocre Narrator Performance

While I greatly enjoyed the story, the narrator's performance was lacking. His speech patterns (pauses, etc) were not natural and made it difficult for me to follow the story.

Astonishing.

Truly wonderful and too short of a story. I will definitely be going back to listen to it again; cannot hel but wish that it had been longer. There is a certain charm of Fitzgerald's style, and it was read rather delightfully.
