Much more beheading than the films, but overall very good. The adventures were simply told, but still held a lot of excitement. There were some times I literally laughed out loud. My favorite running joke (whether it was intentional or not) was how characters kept saying goodbye so flippantly as if they hadn’t just been or weren’t currently in life-threatening situations. 

I listened to this in one sitting while I did my hair and I was never bored, nor did I ever zone out (which happens a lot with me and audiobooks if I’m not interested).

Titus Burgess’s narration was fantastic. So much emotion and the characters felt distinct from one another not just because of the different voices he put on for each, but their individual personalities came through in his performance.
