Reviews
KAB
A great story and I enjoyed Salis' reading, too. I do wish the racial comments could be edited out, though.
Excellent Reader
Susan
Perfectly read. Could listen for hours !
Vern
13 hrs of monotonous babbling. nothing interesting really happens in the whole book. the whole story is told in the introduction, no need to stretch it out over many hours.
