Well read and brought to life. Lots of action.

The sceneries were well described and brought vivid pictures in your mind. The reader altered her voice for different characters which helped follow the dialogues. It was a good story.

very close to the movie

Having seen the movie, this audiobook let me visualize every part.
It was like watching the movie again, but in my head.

Great Story but..

Love the film, watched it many times. It's one of my favourites. Not keen on this book though. I just can't get on with the narrators accent. If you don't mind that, the story itself is great.

I've seen the movie which I liked and this is exactly like it, only one difference but it is very small.

Naïve and shallow

I am very disappointed. Waste of time and money. I had an impression that someone just took a comic book and made it even shorter
