- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This author has done a lot of research. I can tell. The gods and goddesses in these myths are awesome. Definitely my cup of tea.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Honestly, I believe that this is a good audiobook for people who have an interest in this subject. It may perhaps have had a couple of errors, but they did not subtract anything from the incredible information that this audiobook contains. You can discover a ton. I definitely know that I did. I almost missed out on this book, but I am happy that I found it anyway. It makes a lot of sense what the author states, particularly in the last handful of chapters, where the subject becomes a conclusion.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's wonderful to tune in to a book such as this one. The author really understands how to explain it perfectly. Such an enjoyable idea. I believe I will let my siblings spouse listen to it. They have to understand that there are audiobooks like these out there.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This manual has the right to a big, fat 5-star rating. Not that bad. Actually, I would practically say that it's amazing. At first, I was wondering where exactly it was going, but after tuning in to it for a while, I got into it. Then I saw this book for what it really was: A great endeavor by an intelligent author and expert narrator.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mind-blowing! Have you ever before listened to a book like this? It appears as if we are dealing with a professional here. The storyteller's performance was to die for. I don't believe the word "awesome" does this specific book justice. There needs to be a better word, and I will certainly keep looking, because it deserves something great to be said about it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can probably list 20 points why I love this audiobook, but my time is actually important, so this critique should not be extremely long. It's a good thing if you can simply put on your headphones and tune in to an audiobook like this. I understand I am definitely not the best of testimonial writers, but this is worthy of appreciation. The writer and storyteller have undoubtedly put so much time and energy into these books.
