If you are looking for more in depth knowledge on Lucumi, this is not where you will find it. It gives a good general knowledge if you do not know anything at all. Surface level. With that being said, the person reading is BUTCHERING words left and right. She doesn't even pronounce "Lucumi" correctly. It was really rough making it through this book because of the complete butchering of words. Even the word "Gris-gris" was pronounced wrong even while acknowledging it was a French word. If they could just have the person reading, do a bit of research on pronunciation maybe this could get 4/5.

Good for beginner introduction but....

Some general good information. Though as an olorisha I found some information to be not all together accurate. The reading could have been better and the pronunciation of Lukumi names and phrases was atrocious.

Bad Performance

The narrator sounds like she's reading for an audience of totlers. She single handedly rained this book which I would have at least given it a 3 stars rating. I hope Amazon or the authors chose the narators wisely!

The worst narrarator i've heard!

Way to make an interesting subject and make it simply annoying and hard to listen to,
I had a very hard time listening because of the tone used narrating it. What was that?? were you thinking you were talking to a 3 year old?? wow!! just wow!!! I almost feel offended that anyone would think this is even appropriate tone to use on an audible, whoever made that executive decision should be fired and the lady narrating should simply stop!!

Great info Performance is terrible!

For this to introduce an understanding to someone about Luccumi, may take another thought or rewrite...I guess. 52y in

To me: limiting and no strength! #Righteouness

struggled to listen. The narrator was so mechanical and monotonous. Interested in the content but narrator made it boring and hard to stay interested
