- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is just one of the best audiobooks I have come across, and that is the reason that I am taking a tiny second to create a review about it. I highly recommend this audio book for different reasons. I literally didn't see something bad with this book. If I am incorrect, then let me know. However, I found it to be almost perfect, and that's what mattered to me.
