Review: A Guy's Moleskine Notebook





Began this as an audiobook from the library, then finished reading due to a faulty disk three.  I gave this a rating of 3 although it would probably be higher if I had listened to the entire book.  Because I only listened while in the car, the tension and mystery built up over time.  Each snippet, while going to the gym, or running errands, disclosed a bit more.  Listening to a book takes a lot more time than reading so the drama is extended.  And I enjoyed listening to a British actor.

Takeaways

Next time, get the audio book and regular book from the library.  Do I really get a lot more out of book by listening vs. reading?
