- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I appreciate that these people volunteered to read for the audiobook. However, the verse suffered greatly. The most notable and bothersome to me was Cassius being pronounced with three syllables rather than two, as it scans in Iambic Pentameter.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The play was wonderful but the reading wasn’t great. I appreciate that they volunteer but Brutus sounded robotic in his reading. No feeling.
