Reviews

I accept it.


(3.5 stars)

To the person complaining about the reader reading too fast....go to "playback speed" & move the dot toward the turtle. This option is also freef

Interesting book, poorly read.


(4 stars)

Leon Harvey deserves credit for choosing a lot of these sorts of little-known books, but he needs to slow down and enunciate. Even listening with headphones at a slow speed he's still hard to understand. 😒

Very in depth book.


(4 stars)

This is a very different type of book. It is a lot to take in. The reader has a pleasant voice, however I think that he spoke very fast and it was hard to keep up.
