I have not yet listened to the entire text. So far it is interesting. Not as fascinating so far as A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains by the same author (also, that one had the wonderful narration of Flo Gibson), but still quite fascinating. However, it is constantly interrupted by yeowling advertisements. Perhaps this is normal on a podcast, I'm not sure. But I have never heard this kind of interruption on Audible before. It's very, very distracting. Perhaps I'll buy the written book instead. Not sure yet.
