The only reason I listened to as much as I did, was Audible would not let me return it……. With the bad luck of these characters, they never would have made it to adulthood. I have started and stopped so many times because of the sheer stupidity of the characters…. I have to stop listening for a while, so I can build up my tolerance. If you ever served in the military or have any common sense, this book is NOT for you.
