Trapped by Format
This audiobook has some great poems read well. The trouble is its all on one long (hour and a half) file and you can't select individual poems or go back to a one you liked. Imagine getting a new music CD and finding all the songs are on one long file - you listen to all of it or nothing. Crazy, eh? This audiobook is the same. If I want to listen to Shakespeare I have to listen to a two millenia of other poetry first, starting with Homer. Good poetry, but today I might just want to hear a sonnet by the Bard. No go with this audiobook. I can't recommend it unless you're a masochist. Thumbs down. I won't be buying Volume Two.
