The music and other sounds are a new change to audio books. At first it was a little off putting but it comes into play a lot more as the book goes on, I thought they did a great job with this one. 10 of 10 to the narrator and sound team. Another great read from Harmon Cooper. As i have listen to almost all of his books i can say i am never disappointed by his work. Great job. cant wait for the next one. 🙂
