Great, except . . .
We enjoyed this for a while on a car trip. However, the differences in volume made it difficult to listen to. The normal speaking voice of the reader was soft, so we turned up the volume, then all of a sudden, there was a startling, ear-splitting booming voice that made it necessary to turn it down. After quite a while of that, we gave up before the end. The reader was excellent and that was my only complaint--my ears! It's like the TV commercials that come in so loud. It would be so much better if it were done in a smaller range of volume.
