Reseñas
Challenging Readers
TLocke
Having listened to less than half, I gave it up. I can usually adapt to various readers, but really struggled with two of the primary readers of this one. Also, readers changed frequently. If readers have an accent or unusual pronunciations, having all their chapters together would make it easier on the listener. I appreciate all readers, but just could not switch back and forth so quickly.
Great book!

I wish it was longer, I liked it a lot. Definitely give it a listen, it hooks you in right away. It'll be over before you know it.
