Reviewed: 01-20-21
The story is great. The vocabulary is good to learn. The speaking speed is just right! However, the voice is very monotonous, even when characters are angry. A little more natural inflection, change of register would have made it more enjoyable. Some added sound effect would have made it an even more enjoyable of a listen and make it more of "enjoy listening to a great story" rather than "im just listening to this to learn.
