Thanks! I can see listening to the audio version being a really good way to read (or is it listen to?) this book, since it's so conversational, and told by different voices.

1759394 Congratulations on 50 Anna!
I read "A Long Way Down" and then a few months later, I borrowed the book on CD from the library. I thought the audio version was so good that I bought a copy even though I already owned the book!
Give it a try if you like audio books! (You might want to give yourself a little time first!)
