There is much to say about the audiobook and book, especially of a commendatory nature; I encourage you to look over all of the info on the webpage for the ebook at Amazon, especially. The one characteristic of the audiobook that "jumps out" to me, however, is the fact that it is over 36 1/2 hours long! Some people may consider that a good thing; some people may consider that a bad thing. As an ineradicable bargain hunter, I am in the first camp--I love the bang for the buck and punch for the pound in this deal.

I'm a "bang for the buck" kind of person too and I couldn't resist this. I have a few audiobooks, but don't listen enough to have a membership. But there are times I do start a book and then switch to audio when I have things to do, so I grabbed this. Thanks for posting and saving me a bundle as well
