Reviews for Florence

[Miles Heath · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

They somewhat just spit facts at you without building up much of a storyline.

Wonderful! Have you actually listened to a book like this one? In my eyes, it was pretty perfect. There may perhaps have been a couple of hardly recognizable errors in there, but they did not bother me. Whenever you can listen to a narrator who is this great, and about a concept that you have an interest in, you do not care about the rest. That's the end of the story. I had the ability to comprehend everything plainly, not just because the narrator pronounced words well, but also because the info in it contained new facts to be learned.
