Reviews for Polynesian Mythology

[Joseph Staton · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The big difference between this book and many other audiobooks, is actually that this is way more enjoyable. The storyteller appears truly professional, and the writer understands a lot about the subject. I think the first couple of chapters were my favorite ones, because the entire idea that the title refers to, is explained. All of the fundamentals are there. Later in the book, more depth gets included, and I believe this is what makes it so great.

Man! Listen to this book! I am not joking! It's fantastic! The difference between this audiobook and other books, is actually that this one is way more enjoyable. I almost overlooked this book, but I am actually glad that I checked it out anyway. It makes a lot of sense what the author says, especially in the last couple of chapters, where the matter becomes a conclusion.
