Full of wisdom and circumspection!

Full of wisdom and circumspection at the risk, however, of being almost too pithy to fully grasp!

I couldn't listen to this guy for 10 min

I wish I read the other review because now I have to buy a copy read by someone else. I'm really not exaggerating how bad this is. it like he adds an unnecessary comma after every 3 words. DON'T BUY

Narrator is DRY

Hopefully he got paid in advance for this. There was no enthusiasm whatsoever from narrator.

Narration is extremely monotonous!

It was very difficult to follow through because of how the story was told. I couldn’t help but rewind each chapter on loop to get to the gist of it!

Bad narrator, bad translation, great book

Bad narrator, bad translation, great book
There are much newer translations. This one uses "thee" and "thou".

Get the book with a different narrator

The narrator is atrocious, I really wish there was a different narrator. His voice is robotic and gets randomly loud or very quite that you can barely hear what he's saying and it's completely out of context. It made it REALLY hard to enjoy/ take in the book.
