Outstanding Viking Tale

Eric Brighteyes is a Viking type tale told in an old way with all the twists, turns and tragedy of a Shakespearian saga.

The narration done by Shelly Frasier makes the told tale even more absorbing and attention binding. Her voice and way of speaking for this book was perfectly matched. I enjoyed every word and cried at the end for Eric Brighteyes and Gudruda the Fair.

Eric Brighteyes

I really enjoyed listening to this story. It was narrated very well and each character's voice was unique. The story itself was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to others.

Chapter timing off

Only thing I have to say about this title is that each chapter does not actually start from where the chapter menu is set. (I hope that makes sense)

Complicated

Way to complicated and hard to understand. I never got over the hump and into the story. I should have saved my credits.
