Ratings and reviews

Attention! Do not buy this audio-book! The audio experience was awfull! One (of the many) reader sounds sick, out of breath, and he should prepare the text before siting in front of the microphone (for example reading german without apparently understanding what he is saying). Another one sounds like a 12 year old child even pronouncing Mozart wrong! The recording was made in a basement with a 10€ micro! The audio includes sudden cuts, crackling etc. Many parts are literally not audible!
