Entertaining and "worth a listen". Fun book. I have to disagree that the reader of the last chapter was "excruciating". Like many volunteer readers she had her defects, but nothing horrible. Having read the previous review, I was honestly looking forward to hearing the terrible reader. I was dissappointed when the book ended and I had not been "excruciated" .

Interesting stories, interesting characters


(4 stars)

I try to cut slack for the volunteer readers but this book was a mixed bag of mispronunciation, curious cadence and variable quality of recording. It would be far better to have one reader on the whole book. I could barely understand the final one. But good efforts to all the volunteers
