deeply read voice pleasant story

the readers voice is so deep & soothing it would be a good book to listen to if you like to listen to audio books to go to sleep. i fine job by the reader with authentic accent when needed. i really enjoyed the first story about the minor, the writer described the dark depths so well i was getting claustrophobic! but the other stories i just couldn't get into.
great reader, great story.
