I've read this story so many times now. This story brings back memories of growing up with my brothers, who took every chance they could to scare me with gory and gruesome stories they knew or more often than not, made up. It was then that they also instilled in me my love of creepy and scary ghost stories. The legend of Sleepy Hollow was one of those stories they told and that I later ended up reading myself. I highly recommend it. It’s a classic.

However, I thought this time around, I would listen to the audiobook. Kind of disappointing. I still enjoyed the story, but the story was lacking the suspense, not to mention, rather edited from previous versions of the written book. For those looking to check this story out, I am going to recommend the ebook over the audiobook and maybe an early edition. JMHO
