This is a good, easy book to listen to on audio...just not while on your next trip to the beach! I enjoyed listening to it but I can honestly say that the movie was much better than the book. That isn't to say that the book is bad, I'm just saying that the movie was awesome so don't expect this story to grab you in exactly the same way. The reason that the book drags, in my opinion, is that the characters are muddy and even the "good guys" are mildly annoying. There are too many runners going through the story to make it as seamless as it should be and I think that, with a little less distraction, the author could have KO'd me with a flurry of fists instead of just jabbing at me and giving me the occasional right hook. I do recommend this book but I definitely think that audio is the way to go on this one, especially if you - like me - will not finish a story if you have to wade through a bit of boring silliness to get to the real action.
