Reviews

Accents aside I think the reader did well.

(5 stars)

This audiobook as it is before I rate it has a 1-star rating from 1 review. The objection seems to be against the reader rather than against the book itself. To consider this a poor reading I think is to be unfairly biased against a particular accent. After becoming accustomed to the accent I think the reader did well.

thefun read!! I love cynicism and the history of it's inception
