      The best parts about this book, were the stories and the historical background. The narrator was good too.

      This audiobook took a ton of time and effort to write and narrate. I have absolutely no criticisms about this audiobook. I've noticed that certain books are pretty much garbage, and this saddens me. But this particular book didn't follow that pattern. It's actually really good. So, I like it.

      I recommend this audio book for various reasons. This was truly worth my time. Finally, a book that delivers. One other detail: The storyteller seemed so good that I would most likely listen to it again. Perhaps even more than once. I can't remember every single thing that's being stated in all these audio books, so it would be worth reminding me of what was being said. It may possibly have had a few mistakes, but they didn't subtract anything from the incredible information that this specific book contains. You can learn a ton. I definitely know that I did.

      It's a great thing when you are able to just put on your earphones and listen to an audiobook like this. I took advantage of this book. It was an eye-opener. I was wanting to discover more about this subject anyway, so it was actually no accident that I bumped into this book. I listened to it, and not to my surprise, it was precisely what I was looking for. In my perspective, it was pretty perfect. There might just have been a few barely detectable mistakes in there, but they didn't bother me. Anytime you can listen to a narrator who is this good, and about a theme that you have an interest in, you don't care about the other parts. That's the end of the that.

      Not bad at all. I feel it's 1 of the greatest audiobooks on the market place. Not bad. Actually, I would practically say that it's top-notch. In my eyes, it was just one of those books you can not really skip. You should not overlook it, because it is one of the best available. I may become repetitious here, but that's just how I think about it.

      I just wanted to write something good about this specific audiobook. I almost failed to see this audiobook, but I am happy that I saw it anyway. It makes a lot of sense what the author says, especially in the last few chapters, in which the matter turns into a final thought. Not only did this book sound like it was top quality, but it also showed me essential aspects of daily life, and about this concept in particular, obviously. So, it definitely deserves a couple of hard-earned stars.

      I was fascinated by this particular subject, so I got this book. I've observed that certain books are practically trash, and that grieves me. On the other hand this specific audiobook didn't follow that pattern. It's actually really good. So, I love it. In my point of view, it was quite great. There might just have been a few hardly obvious mistakes in there, but they did not bother me. Anytime you are able to listen to a narrator who is this good, and about a concept that you have an interest in, you don't care about the rest. That's the end of the that.
