- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Entertaining content. I love myths from the ancients. This book has done a great job.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Outstanding, I must say. I guess the first couple of sections were my favorite ones, because the entire concept that the subtitle talks about, is described. All of the fundamentals are there. Later in the book, more depth gets added, and I believe this is what makes it so great. Knowing so many new things about this concept was informing, to say the least. It was a breath of fresh air. I truly enjoyed it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have absolutely no complaints about this specific audiobook. I actually did not notice something bad about this book. If I am incorrect, then let me know about that. Still, I found it to be almost perfect, and that's what made a difference to me. I do not believe the word "amazing" does this specific book justice. There needs to be a better word, and I will keep looking, because it deserves something good to be said about it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5You gotta love something like this. This audiobook took a lot of precious time to write and narrate. This is just one of the very best books I have come across, which is the reason why I am taking a small moment to write a comment about it. It is easy: If you understand this book, you will definitely discover more about the idea. The championship the content, so there is no doubt about how legitimate this book is. So, there you have it.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Terrible narration. Flat and boring. I enjoy a lot of different audiobooks, but I just couldn't listen to this one - the voice sounds almost like an artificial voice - the narrator seems completely uninvolved and uninterested.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Informative book. Audio could be improved. A higher quality microphone maybe..?
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Terrible! Is he saying "Bay Day" ? Is that the same as Bede?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The subject matter is interesting but the narrator sounds like he's rushing through a lecture he doesn't really want to give. I gave up after about 20 min.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Unbelievably good. That's what I think. Just listening in my car, I appreciated this particular book. The very best parts of this book (I forgot which chapters) indicated the most to me. When I heard these things, I instantly knew I had made the right choice. This book spoke with me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is truly a great book. Dearest audio fans, I really hope you see this message. I want you to know that this is an impressive audiobook. This deserved my time. Finally, a book that gave me what I expected. Another thing: The storyteller seemed so good that I would definitely listen to it in the future. Perhaps even more than just once. I simply cannot remember every single thing that's being stated in these books, so it would be worth reminding me of what was being pointed out.
