- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This manual needs a big, fat 5-star review. I managed to understand every thing plainly, not just because the storyteller spoke the terms very well, but also since the information in it contained new facts to be learned. In my eyes, it was pretty great. There may have been a couple of hardly detectable mistakes in there, but they did not bother me. When you can listen to a narrator who is that good, and about a subject that you're interested in, you don't care about the other parts. That's the end of the that.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Impressive, I must say. Without a doubt, one of the best books within this niche market. It's an interesting idea, the whole premise of this book. You do not generally see that in many other books. And that's why it can use an individual like me to write a couple of positive things about it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Both the storyteller and the writer put some real work into this. This customer review reflects my own views and preferences. I do not always enjoy all audiobooks, but this one stood out. And because it did, I began listening closely to it. It was some of the best time I spent, particularly because I was doing some other tasks in the meantime.
