The past is coming back. The ancient myths that were told, are now available in an audiobook format. Listen to the narration, and you will find yourself amazed by the intricate details of age-old civilizations like that of the Celts, the Vikings, the Greeks, and others. This combination of books focuses on several separate societies that have a long, well-known history of believing in multiple gods, goddesses, crazy creatures we now suppose are fiction, and a myriad of other interesting superstitious or valuable assumptions.
Begin listening today. Your audiobook is waiting for you!

And yes, I enjoyed the narrator and the stories very much. Thank you, Ron Carver, for packing up these books into a big, giant, bundle of 6 mythologies from different regions in the world. I am impressed.

Unfortunately, a better production editor was needed. the book went along find until the Egyptian chapters, at which point the repetitions, rephrasings, and other verbal errors that were left in the audio gave the listener the impression that the project was due and that's where the editing just stopped.
information-dense, but unpolished

Great Information, Abysmal Narration

When it comes to rating a mythology book you don't judge the book on the quality of the myths, as the writer didn't come up with those, but you can evaluate the book based on the quality of the storytelling, the context provided, the analysis, and the quality of narration. The storytelling is poor. The diction feels unprofessional; he uses the same words and phrases over and over, for example, he says, "a lot" a lot. This has never been an issue with any other books I've listened to on Audible (I've done over 600), but the prose is so clunky that the editor in me wants to get out my red pen. The stories themselves are short and poorly organized. Historical context is provided in the form of a list of dates of significant events, as if the author copy and pasted entries from Wikipedia.
I tried to find the author, Ron Carver, on the internet to see what his credentials are. Is he a journalist, writer, or scholar of myth? But I couldn't find any site for the author's bio. Super sketchy. In addition, the narrator is really bland and mispronounces many key terms.
After about 2.5 hours, I couldn't listen to this anymore. I almost never review books but I wanted to give a warning to others out there to not make the same mistake that I did. Don't waste your time. The absurdly high ratings are very likely fake.
I switched to the Great Courses: Great Mythologies. The improvement in quality in every way was palpable.
Does this book have fake reviews?
