Reviews
Worth the listen





Courage
The reader pronounces clearly and has an easy-to-listen to voice. I highly recommend this version.
A most enlightening read!

I'd always wanted to read this fascinating book but never got round to it till now. You need not be a prince in the making to find herein wise advice for a more modern managerial careerpath - although I would refrain from applying the etermination of your enemies in a corporate environment... Thank you, Paul Adams for an most entertaining read!
Beautifully read!





Karen Bromberg

Great speed, sound quality, and voice fits the genre. much better than the mish mosh of several people, inconsistent, poor pronunciation, and poor reading intonation and cadence that the other version offers.
dramatic. fine
