such an improvement over part 1

The music is toned down, the narrator speaks at a good pace, and the overall balance is terrific. A great listen that had me pulled in from the start

it was good

only nit-pick was the sound effects were too loud compared to the narration, making it very difficult to understand what was said (you know, the whole point of a audio book)
the narration was good, the sound affects were a little repetitive but not enough to be annoying,
and the music wasn't terrible.
