What all audiobooks should be like
Excellent book, fun story and very well written. Expertly adapted for the audio format. I could not think of anyone more perfect than Tim Curry to narrate this story.

Tim Curry amazing
Loved Tim Curry as a narrator was a perfect fit for this book. All the other speakers and music is just distracting and takes away from the story

amazing
This performance was delightful. I loved the background noises and atmosphere. It's like I was actually in the room with them.

Chan
My reasoning for the poor review is the voice over, it would be a lot better if it was only one voice and not multiple. The music and sounds In the back ground are distracting, and the actress that plays sunny does not do a very good job

worst background noises
this is my favourite book series and Tim Curry was MADE to narrate this but the sound effects and occasional baby crying in the background are infuriating and make it hard to continue listening :(

Background Noise
I loved this book as a child and was so excited to listen to it. The story was great but the background noises were awful. Not what I am looking for in an audiobook.
