Good book

(5 Sterne)

Good reading too, except for when English words are incorrectly pronounced to such a degree that the meaning of these words are lost. Here is room for improvement, at least for the kind lady with a possibly Slavic, maybe Russian, accent. Clear articulation is also much appreciated. Some readers are very helpful in that they read with a great ability to speak with the listener in mind.

kids book

(5 Sterne)

I love this series. It makes history come alive through the lives of famous men. I have enjoyed listening to this series as I drive with my kids, and we have all learned a lot. The readers do a great job, although a few have accents that are hard for my kids to understand.

horrible writing

(4,5 Sterne)

the narrator did a great job.. but the author derided it was better to call all the Greek gods by the Roman names instead of the Greek names...

Ulysses

(5 Sterne)

Listen if you have a thick accent don't read for audiobooks. This Latina woman butchered literally every pronoun in the story.

e, eerie, but it was the last few days. the first one is a great
