Reviews

Excellent short story


(4 stars)

This is an excellent short story interwoven with lessons of character and humility. It also serves as a bit of a history lesson on the senior societies and traditions of Yale. Roger Melin does an excellent job reading this solo project for libribox.

Roger is one of the best narrators. The story is wonderful. Talent may get you into the position that you desire. Character determines your length of stay.

Excellent
