Reviews for Compelling Evidence

[Chester Kleinot · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This is the worst audio recorded book I ever listened to. I had to stop it in the second chapter. It obviously was not recorded in a professional studio. There is annoying speaking in the background. It sounds like it was recorded with a television playing in the back ground. Plus, it being abridged, it deletes entire chapters from the book, not just small sections. Pity, because it is a good book. Just read the book. Forget this audio version.
