Subject: this book sucks

I hate this book, the plot is terrible and the narration is not understandable, also this book sound like its 100000 years old

Reviewer: seventyeight - - February 5, 2018
Subject: Narration is superb

Thanks to the narrator for her time and patience in recording this book. She did a great job.
Unfortunately, this book is about as interesting as watching paint dry. The pace is nothing short of glacial. The plot expands further and further without making any connection. I couldn’t get past the 8th chapter.

Subject: Lizzy Driver is one of my favorite readers, BUT!

DO NOT START LISTENING TO FIRST SECTION AS YOU ARE HAVING A MEAL! you will lose your appetite or worse. just started reading. its about the Crusades. They say Richard the Lionheart was a great king. While the first section is said to be a myth, there is historical documentation that King Richard had his knights and armies commit horrible atrocities against muslims and jews. I liked the second chapter where the european and muslim engage in one on one combat and then have a truce and share in a Oasis in the middle of the desert.

Subject: chapter 7 of the tallsman

I am reading this for school and i was asked to read chapter 7, But i found no chapter 7. Instead i found two chapters entitled chapter 9. I clicked on the first chapter 9 the one below chapter 6 and it turned out to be chapter 7. Other than this issue i think its a fine recording.

Subject: Absolutely delightful

I began listening to this recording before it was completed...just to see what it was like. I was hooked. Though the first chapter was a bit of a detail overload, as the story progresses it gets more and more difficult to stop listening. Oh, and the recording was simply superb! Thanks Lizzy. :)
