That was how I felt ... not only depressing, but you can feel his anger and bitterness towards the whole affair, and he sounds soo personal, like speaking right beside you. I must thank you again for introducing me to this audiobook and now your open letter to Colin Firth. I hope he'll come across it in the Internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-11549670484249496082012-11-30T21:54:52.160-05:002012-11-30T21:54:52.160-05:00Now I want to listen to this!
