The title says it all. The story line had promise, despite requiring the "suspension of disbelief", but I never did get any 'sense' of the characters. They were very two dimensional, in my opinion. By the end of the audiobook I stil wasn't sure what any of them looked like, and I didn't know much more about their emotional and mental outlook either.

Interesting Concept; Wooden Characters

Good adaptation. There could’ve been a couple things added from the book to the movie. But overall a good listen.

Loved the movie

The adaptations they made to the story for the movie added a lot, but this was still a good book. Donnie Wahlberg did a good job voicing the story but I never want to hear him do a female voice again. i say that jokingly as I'm sure he doesn't want to either. Worth the listen if you're a fan of the movie, just know that this was a rare occasion where the movie was better.

The best part of this was Donnie Wahlberg’s narration. I don’t think I could have enjoyed it more.

Loved it!
