A warning - Tom Hiddleston does NOT read this to you
This is not a book review I am updating this review because I see that amazon finally changed the page and has taken the photos of Tom off the page and the voice sample of him reading this book. When I wrote my review in November 2011, and even up until recently, amazon had Tom's face and voice on this page. Judging by the number of usefuls and comments, I know a good number of people averted the mistake I made, so I will leave this warning here. Tom Hiddleston did record a version of this book. That version can only be found in the UK!!! Sadly, in my excitement of learning he did the audio book, and seeing his face and sound sample on this page on amazon, I didn't bother to notice this version is NOT read by Tom. My heart sank when I realized this as I put the first chapter on. Too late. Anyway, I have no interest in the book itself. I just wanted it for Tom. I would listen to 8 CDs of him reading me a phone directory. And since I know I am not alone in that, other fans HAVE and will make this mistake. Do not buy this unless you want to actually hear the book read to you and don't care who by. I do not know if its a good story or not. This review is not a commentary on the book - its a commentary on the AUDIObook. If you want Tom Hiddleston to read to you, you must get the UK version.
