Awesome!

You know, this book, to me, seems like a once in a lifetime kind of read. This book was a visually gripping experience, and the audio was so awesome, except for the times where the audio reader had to make roaring sounds and crying out sounds (they were kind of cringey).

This is a kids book.

I didn’t finish the story because this is a kids book. And too silly for me to be engaged. I don’t want to criticize on the negative it is silly.
