A modern classic that didn't disappoint - I could probably read it over and over and discover something new each time

Audible needs to take the casting directors and give them a raise. An incredibly powerful book on its own, it was turned into a masterpiece by the talented men and women who participated in its realization. The dramatization was incredible, the cast on point and the music outstanding. All in all, one of the greatest pieces of literature and an amazing adaptation.
