Wonderfully Read
The reading is steadily paced and rhythmic. Moreover, the tone of his voice is perfect, as is his timing and inflections. This is a great dramatic reading that summarizes Homer’s Odyssey in a mere 45 minutes. For all ages who have neither the time nor the desire to spend more than 10 hours in audio presentations that cover every word.
