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.
