However, about the third or fourth night I found the book was keeping me awake. In the early chapters I fell asleep pretty quickly (not 'because' of the book, but the sound of someone reading muffled other sounds, and the images I formed in my head helped me to forget about stuff I had to do the next day or other worries I had). =-=-=-= My Personal About This Book: Each night I would find the beginning of the last chapter I could remember hearing and start there, and listen again until I fell asleep. There is more narration at the start of the book, setting things up, than the rest of the book. This reader uses many voices for the different characters (and you can recognize which character speaks by the voice the reader uses!) as the characters are introduced into the book. This reader uses a very monotone voice as the 'narrator voice'. READER/VOICE ACTOR(S): Other reviews have mentioned the 'monotone voice' of the reader.

I started listening to it at night when I was trying to fall asleep, and at first it was great for that. I set this book down twice and I'm glad I picked it up the third time. However, like the wooden roller coaster, once you crest the first and tallest hill things really pick up. It starts out slow: Some people complain that it is boring while others just enjoy the view. STORY: This book is like a wooden roller coaster ride. The book is like a wooden roller coaster.
