Very well done. A rare find. There was much more history than the titles might lead you to believe, but mythologies are better understood in their historical context anyway.

This was the most comprehensive and useful book of its kind. I was very pleased with it!

I love the history of Babylonian civilization! There’s something uniquely enigmatic about this particular culture that not only brought us writing as a medium but also humanity’s first justice system. Yet the narrator is unnervingly robotic, which completely turns me off! This is one of those instances where it’s better to read the printed version of this book as opposed to the audio.

Fascinating subject but horrible narration!

I would never have bought this audio book if I could have looked at a hard copy. The book doesn't get to real mythology until Chapter 8. There is tons of interesting information here, throw n at you very fast. There is too much cross cultural comparison with Indian, Greek, Egyptian, Celtic, etc.... .myths. There is way too much meandering from the myths of Babylon.

The reading is very dry. At times I felt the reader was running a race to get to the end. I didn't hear much love or fascination for the topic.

Way off Topic causing me to get a refund
