I got this book on audio for my long commute to and from school. My two hour drive to school and two hours back each day were almost a treat for me. Wonderful book and characters!
I READ THE FIRST TWO BOOKS FROM THIS AUTHOR "GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY" AND GOD STILL DON'T LIKE UGLY. I ENJOYED BOTH, THIS WAS A NO PUT DOWN BOOK AS WELL.....
