Good, but sound was imperfect

The Chaucer was excellent as was the performance.
The spirited performance brought the words to life.
I was not following along in the text, so don't know if it followed the text exactly.
The recording was imperfect, but it was clear enough to be heard.

do not order

If you are purchasing to read along or even just understand, avoid this rendition. It skips around with no warning, omitting entire lines. very disappointed I wasted money on this title.
