- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked it so much that I might tune in to it in the future at some point. I had an interest in this subject, so I bought this book. Despite of the writer's knowledge about the idea, the narrator was still the component I was most pleased with. This is what truly offered me on the author's book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The information in this manual is actually fantastic. Despite of the writer's understanding about the theme, the storyteller was still the aspect I was most impressed with. This is what really sold me on the book. The narrator's voice was relaxing. Did I already mention that it seemed extremely professional? It did. Without a doubt, and that's exactly why I loved listening to it so much.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a very good book and the narrator was fantastic. However i'm mostly listened to it to learn about norse mythology, And the section on it was so tiny. So if you're looking for that you won't get much out of here.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audiobook was actually worth listening to, in my opinion. I have absolutely no complaints about this particular audio book. I do not always enjoy any audiobooks, but this stood out. And since it did, I started listening closely to it. It was some of the best time I spent, especially because I was doing some other things in the meantime.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Both the narrator and the writer put some serious effort into this. My compliments to the writer and the narrator. This deserved my time. Lastly, a book which gives you what you want. One other detail: The storyteller sounded so good that I would listen to it again. Perhaps even more than just one time. I can't recall everything that's being said in these audio books, so it would be worth reminding me of what was actually being said.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not bad in any way. I believe it's one of the greatest books on the marketplace. I absolutely loved this audio book! No doubt about it! Not only did this book seem like it was top quality, but it also taught me important aspects of life, and about this theme in particular, of course. So, it certainly deserves a couple of hard-earned stars.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everything by Birker Leif is worth a listen. Go look him up.
