I read this book with my partner in my early 20's but just finished listening to the audiobook and loved reliving the adventure through a wonderful narrator. There were many details that I'd forgotten and enjoyed the nuances of the story. I've seen the movie and was able to put the characters' faces into the book as I was listening to it which made it a richer experience all around.

The first and only book I've read in the series. Just never got into any of the others.

The audiobook read by Andy Serkis was absolute and utter perfection. I so enjoyed a chance to go back and listen to a favorite from childhood.
