At 3.5 hours, this may have been a bit too short, but it was certainly entertaining.  Fast paced, exciting, and really disturbing at times. It had the essence of the original book. I'm glad I'd read the original book first (many years ago).

Listened to this in one sitting start to finish because it grabbed my attention so much, and as someone with ADHD this never happens so I was very pleasantly surprised.
