Audiobooks made easy – this app's functionality is truly a gift. A decent listen overall. The narration was clear, though some character voices sounded similar. The story was interesting but had moments where it dragged slightly. Still, it was a good way to pass the time. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
