Mr. Dozier is a talented voice artist and made this work an enjoyable performance. Perfect pronunciation, skillful tone and inflection and unfaltering tempo make it seem like Mahan himself is telling the tale. Many thanks to this talented volunteer.

I adore this reader, he is perfect for the task.s
