Reviews
Very informative book.
Karen Bromberg
Each lecture of this book by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr was beautifully read by Thomas Burton.
The book is great, the reader’s accent is not so much
I
Had difficulties with reader’s pronunciation. Oo instead of short o (Hoomes instead of Holmes), w instead of r (whiter instead of writer). On the other hand had fun training my speech-recognizing skills. Otherwise all is great.
