I don’t understand why this first one was so short. We’re going to get something like forty volumes if they keep publishing them at this size.

I listened to the audiobook version of this, and let me just say that the actress for this made this the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to. Everything was so well acted.

And I love the reality of this book. The fact that it doesn’t try to paint this as an inspirational story. I’ve always loved that. This was also the first book that made me cry, and the audiobook also made me cry.

I would have looooved more facts in here. Those were my favorite parts. BUT THERE’S BOOKMARKS IN THE BACK!! THEY KNOW THEIR AUDIENCE! I was wondering at first if this book was even worth purchasing since I finished it so quickly BUT IT WAS CAUSE I GOT BOOKMARKS!

I was confused the whole time until the very end. And then I realized good job, Dick. This hurt my brain in all the right ways.
