- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator's presentation was truly great, and so was the author's content. 5 stars! Without a doubt the best thing that's happened to me this week. I know I am certainly not the best of review writers, but this is worthy of praise. The author and narrator have undoubtedly put a lot time and energy into these books.
