Great Text, Great Recording

Thank you for this recording. A great text executed in a wonderful recording. I frequently listen to it at night as i wait to fall asleep. 42. Whatever harm an enemy may do to an enemy, or a hater to a hater, an ill-directed mind inflicts on oneself a greater harm.

A wonderful reading, my first ever audio book and I really enjoyed listening to it. The readers os this book spoke in a very calm and sometimes tranquil way that made listening a joy. Highly recommend this recording.

Chris Masterson has a super annoying monotone voice, and puts weird inflections in some places. I stopped paying attention because his reading was just too annoying.
