Tremendous Book, so well read!


(5 Sterne)

This is interesting, expertly written in my opinion, &, read by a LibriVox Volunteer whom, I found, wonderful to listen to, as his voice is both comforting & interesting. Our reader brought a genuine warmth to what can be awfully dry material. I've gone back & listened to some chapters again because, truly loved this work.
