This app is like having a personal library with me wherever I go. I'm blown away by how this app has made my commutes productive and my downtime entertaining. I love the ability to change the playback speed. It’s perfect for my needs. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
