2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The content is good, but there are a lot of pictures within the book that are narrated much to my chagrin. The explanations of the pictures, and then the narrator saying: “This picture is labelled as/named Picture/photograph 1.” ? It broke up the book’s flow. Ten minutes and I was out. The information is good, and Im sure the book is good, but the directors notes interjecting the narrator is bothersome enough to not have me listen to this book at all, unfortunately.
