    Good information, but the narration is tedious. Listening at 1.2x speed is necessary just to make the reader sound like a normal person.

    This is for the audio book. The narrator perhaps thought this was a children's book. The narration is very slow and sleepy and makes you go to bed.

    The "sensual" voice doesn't really match the book. And it's sometimes annoying hearing the woman voice mourning at the end of some words.
