It was just as excellent to hear as it was to read. Couldn't have picked a better narrator than Mr. Selznick, whose reading of his own <i>Brave Men Run</i> was similarly well performed. Anybody who enjoyed this should check that out, too. Listened! It was just as excellent to hear as it was to read.
