Needed a quick classic audiobook for a reading challenge, and this was perfect. It’s about one hour, it has an excellent narrator and background ambiance, and it cracked me up several times.
Amazing premise too: Who would win, one perplexed British ghost or a family of brash Americans?
This might become a yearly fall read. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is that the comedy tapers a little in the end, but overall very cute and funny.
