worth the listen


(5 stars)

hard going to begin with due to a difficult to listen to narrator, but by the time we were an hour in, we were all hooked on the story.

A great story


(4.5 stars)

I quite enjoyed Otto's adventures. I give it a thumb's up.

Exciting and Dramatic Tale


(5 stars)

I was obsessed with King Arthur stories as a kid and I would have loved this back then. The writing style was very engaging. The narrator mispronouncing words like "belfry" and "Melchior" (the first time around, at least) was disappointing, though.
