    This book provided me with what I needed, a summary of the Bill of Rights and the other Amendments to the Constitution. If I need more detailed information I know where to go but for my purpose right now it was just enough - Great Summary. My only other comment is that the narrator should be replaced. I don't think he was all that into the reading.

    Narrator was just fine. I don't know why some didn't find him ok. This book is a very light review and is a good start for someone who wants to study the B of R.

    Good start

    I didn't care for the narrator's tone of voice. Spoke "as a matter of fact" with an angree attitude. He read through it too fast so it was hard for me to learn anything. Made several mistake from reading too fast and corrected too many times.

    Terrable terrable terrable
