Reviews for Semiotics

[Snare89 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I find this book to be a good introduction, but the narrator is a terrible choice. Someone with a standard british accent, who doesn’t put on as much of a verbal show, would have been far better. It is hard to concentrate like this. He sounds good when he quickens his narration but as soon as he gets slower I cannot focus.
