Reviews for Mythology

[Idella Cobb · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I as amazed. I still am. I think the author knows the myths from the past very well. The narrator is a pro.

The information in this manual is actually awesome. This deserved my time. Lastly, a book that delivers. One other point: The storyteller appeared to be so good that I would most likely listen to it in the future. Maybe even more than just once. I can't remember every single thing that's being said in these audiobooks, so it would be worth reminding myself of what was being said. I discovered a lot simply by soaking all of it up. The info was excellent, particularly if you already understand a little about the theme. Actually, you could possibly understand nothing at all about it and still follow along effortlessly.

Both the storyteller and the author put some serious effort into this. This audiobook is filled of exceptional information. I have actually noticed that some books are basically garbage, and that saddens me. On the other hand this specific audiobook did not follow that pattern. It's actually really good. So, I like it.
