- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not bad at all. I feel it's 1 of the very best audio books on the marketplace. At first, I was questioning where it was going, but after listening to it for some time, I got into it. Then I saw this book for what it was: A great work by an educated author and professional narrator. Not only did this particular audiobook seem like it was top quality, but it also showed me important things about life, and about this idea in particular, obviously. So, it certainly deserves a couple of hard-earned stars.
