The reviews are very funny and well worth reading. Australian William Shatner .., lol. This audiobook though is near impossible to follow. Time is precious. Don’t waste it with this.

Divine comedy

A monotonic computer like reading. Having one person with little acting or public reading skills made this a dreadful experience.

Terrible reading

This whole audio book feels as though someone stuck the play into google translate, and had the Siri/Alex voice read it back to them. The back and forth dialogue happens with no tone changes and is almost indistinguishable.

Google translate could preform better
