Reviews

Short letters suffer too much Librevox


(3 stars)

Grateful as I am for LibreVox introducing this to me, the intrusion of the frequency of the standard intro, which i can accommodate in Chapters became too much..I found the book online and read it peace, and without intrusions.

Two Paths
