My Review: It was tough for me to get into this book as it jumped around quite a bit and things were hard to follow in the audio version as I wasn't always sure when a new section started and it was sometimes difficult to catch the different place-names. Once I had that down, then I started enjoying the book more. Apparently it was quite popular in Denmark, but it just ended up being ok for me.
