Laws
Plato
Read by Geoffrey Edwards
Laws (Greek: Νόμοι) is Plato's last and longest dialogue. It is generally agreed that Plato wrote this dialogue as an older man, having failed in his effort in Syracuse on the island of Sicily to guide a tyrant's rule, instead having been thrown in prison. (Summary by Wikipedia) (17 hr 12 min)

Reviews
Actually didn't mind the robotic reading
A LibriVox Listener
The reader might lack some style, but, let's consider the subject. There isn't very much room for artful delivery to begin with, and if it was over done, the book would be impossible to follow. I think better under played than overplayed in something like this. He consistently gives clear delivery, and although he doesn't do much to make dry material any less dry, he at least doesn't make it any more hard to digest. The only thing about his delivery at all was the way he said "and" every single time. (More of an "a-yund" that interrupts sentences.) I didn't mind his reading mostly, and the book is extremely interesting.

i respect Geoffrey for taking such a dutifulness to record such great texts. that being said I absolutely canNOT stand hearing his voice and delivery of words. He's so damn boring
Great book!
Great read
Appreciate all the hard work to preserve this audio treasure.
text to speech would be better
Higgo
unable to comprehend more than three words, due to narrator going low every three words.
Well written book, you day the least.

Narrator voice is incredibly annoying and disorienting.
narrators voice is not for this genre
