The story was very captivating and funny. Also the reading performance by the author was pleasant. During the book I could really feel the pain and many times ended up laughing out loud (luckily while I was in my car by myself so I no one will take me for a crazy person). In addition of this being an entertaining and interesting story about an endurance feat, I also learned a lot about history. Having spent my early childhood in a cold war world I felt that the history lessons clarified that world, which I had mostly already forgotten, for me quite a bit. All in all a very entertaining story with an educational component which was very well written and performed.
