Wasted $4

Extremely short story and 10 minutes of Arabic. Not what I was expecting at all.

Dishonest marketing

I bought this for a world lit class. There was nothing in the description that said it would be in Hebrew. They just said it was unabridged, and even that’s questionable. This is a terrible audiobook and a complete waste of money!

Book is sporadic

This book jumps from Hebrew to English and is missing big portions of the poem. I have the poem in print and I purchased because this audible becauseI have to read for an English Lit class. I thought I'd be better able to follow having it read. No such luck. This book leaves out a large portion. Disappointed!

Not even if it's free

When half of the few minutes are in another language, this is not worth it. Look for a better listen if you're looking for cliff notes.

Not what I expected.


It does not say anywhere that it is not translated into English. I would definitely like my credit back please and I think it would be good to inform the people that it is not translated.
