I downloaded this free audiobook from audible and decided to finally take the time to listen to it during my walk today. I was not impressed. The narration was great and I thought that Ben Stiller did a fantastic job but I found the story lacking. I really cannot believe that this is a well loved...

How can they make this into a movie? There's nothing to it. Then again, I've never read anything by Thurber that I liked. I'm all for imagination, but this is boring old man war imagination. It's as interesting as Snoopy's adventures flying the Sopwith Camel as a World War II flying ace. How I hate ...
