This is one most of you have probably read or watched the YouTube video for. But if you haven't, please enjoy! The YouTube video is excellent but the story is great either way.

Wow! I'm actually jealous of you. I wish I could go back and reread it for my first time. I've read that book probably five times and the audiobook is even better. Ray Porter is a genius with narrations.

If you can remember to do so. Come back and let me know what you think. It's such a good book.

    Oh that's exciting! I'll definitely have to dive into it sooner rather than later! I also have the audiobook, do you recommend that for a first time foray into it?

    Oh definitely go for the audiobook the first time. That way the voice of Rocky will be in your head when you read it. Ray Porter does such an amazing job on this book. I can't not hear those voices in my head when I read it now. It's one of the few cases. I'll say the audiobook is better than reading the book. But I'm also a total fanboy for Ray Porter. He can literally make books. I care nothing about interesting lol.
