"Five Stars" according to Carmela Hahl. awesome book greatest ever. Four Stars Carmen Shi There is a little mar for edge. And actually is 120 pages.. Must listening for any Miyazaki fan. As a big Miyazaki fan, I really enjoyed this audiobook. It gives a great perspective on both the breadth of his work, and the details of some of the films and their characters. Might be a little too much about the box office revenue of various films, but overall a good work. Well-read by narrator Mark Douglas Nelson.
