Ned Flanders Reads History

It might just be me, but the narrator reminds me of Home Simpsons' neighbor. The history is non-linear and challenging to follow as it jumps back and forth thru time. Wouldn't recommend it.

Terrible narration!

This is a general overview of polish history. By that I mean a list of kings, rulers, political figures with dates. No real analysis of events. That would be ok as I know nothing of Polish history. But the narration was horrible which made this painful to listen to.

Poor narration of a sequence of mostly unfortunate events.

This history of Poland is better than nothing, but not by much. There wasn’t much available on Audible about the history of Poland, so I settled on this one. I’m not sure any narrator could have made this book interesting, but this particular narrator was woefully uncompelling. His pronunciations changed over time and were inaccurate much of the time.
