Reseñas

Overall, a good recording of a very decent translation. Sound quality varies a bit, but never to the point that you can't hear or understand what is being said. Some background noise can be heard, but not so loud as to be distracting. Reading is very dry, little variance in tone, but it is a straightforward reading not a theatrical one. I read along with the text as I listened and this really helped me absorb/understand what I was reading. I appreciate the time the reader took to do this.
