I didn't read it in the mobile or purchased an audio book but read it's hardcopy and seriously it was amazing. I liked it so much that I read it in 4 hours on the same day when I bought it. the book is about the life of my and about a millions' favorite author ROALD DAHL' life and theirs book just made me think different from maybe all those who didn't read it or rated it less than 5. it is amazing it is like of the best book from books such LUCIFER WAS INNOCENT, THE FAMOUS FIVE (SERIES) etc.
