I really enjoied the audio version of this book. It is well read and moves along at a nice pace. The only negative thing I can say is that they spelled Pee-wee's name incorrectly... It is Pee-wee, not Pee Wee or Pee-Wee
Very amusing!

Hilarious but Robotic

The story of Pee-Wee Harris is one of pure hilarity and fast paced childish/ADHD like pacing befitting of Pee-Wes's nature. The narrator however good at keeping the pacing up made the story difficult to follow by his Robotic Rhythm of reading which was prevalent from the very beginning.
