Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
As audible books on mythology go this is not the best I have even been exposed to. With that said it is also not the worse. If this is your first stab at the subject, then this is likely a good place to start. If you already has a fair amount of exposure, then much of your time will have been wasted.What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narration didn't just out at me. Perhaps it was the narrator's tonal quality or just the way they read the book, but it was not engaging, which made some sections very difficult to listen through without nodding off.If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Any additional comments?
Alec Sand performed 2 of the books I have from early when I joined Audible (and before I knew of the return policy). I have yet to be able to finish either one. His reading is uninspired -reminds me of someone try to drill facts into his own brain by reading flash cards -loud to keep awake- the night before the big final. I keep hoping to find that these books have been read again by someone else because the content that I have listened to seems very good. Performance rating really should not receive any star.Listing Facts, bored?

Good book, bad audio book

The section about Mesopotamia eventually turns into a summery of the Epic of Gilgamesh.
The section about Ancient Greece is basically a summery of the Illiad and the Odyessy.
Also, I don't know if it was just poorly recorded or if there was something wrong with my download personally, but there were a lot of points in the book where it repeats what it just said. Then, at the end, it just kind of trailed off. There was no summery or ending, it just kind of stopped. It felt like there was a part that I wasn't getting.
There are better books for those interested in Ancient Mythology, but this has some good information. But I'm glad I didn't spend any more than I did on this
