A happy and sad tale at the same time. The reader was not as polished as some, but still she did well and the story was easy to follow with her reading of the characters.
Gryphon
One of my favourite books. The narration was all right, but it’s unfortunate that she didn’t edit out misreads and there’s a good deal of background noise.
