- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My compliments to the author and the storyteller. I listened to this audiobook, and it was definitely inspirational. I took advantage of this book. It was really an eye-opener. I was intending to find out more about this topic anyway, so it was actually no accident that I came across this. I listened to it, and not to my surprise, it was precisely what I was looking for.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hi there, I simply intended to publish a couple of words of endorsement. I hope you will take my comments seriously, as I highly recommend this guide to you. I almost missed out on this book, but I am actually glad that I checked it out anyway. It makes sense what the writer says, particularly in the last couple of chapters, where the matter turns into a final thought.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent, I must say. I know I am certainly not the best of review writers, but this is worthy of praise. The author and narrator have obviously put so much energy and time into these audiobooks. Such an interesting topic. I think I will let my sibling or spouse listen to it. They have to know that there are audiobooks like these out there.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Audiobooks such as these make my day. They're awesome. The writer unquestionably understands how to explain it flawlessly. Knowing so many new things about this theme was informing, to say the least. It was a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My compliments to the author and the storyteller. I understand I'm not the best of review writers, but this deserves praise. The writer and storyteller have obviously put a lot time and energy into these books. I wish I was really great at writing reviews, but you'll just have to be satisfied with this mediocre suggestion, namely, that the audiobook was fascinating all the way through, until the very end.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The big difference between this one and other books, is actually that this one is much more enjoyable. I am trying to point out something negative about this book, but I can't. It's simply way too great. So without any more exaggeration, I simply believe everyone should think of listening to it. This is the ultimate mix of a fantastic narrator and a terrific writer, who collaborated and chose to turn this into an useful product. Good for them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's so great that my sister gave it 5 stars. This is a very good book. The audiobook explains numerous points of view very well. It also dives much deeper into the content. My favorite sections were actually the last chapters, where the final thought became understandable.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought it was ok.
A bit disappointing but especially the stories of his wives gave interesting bits of information. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It appears as if we are dealing with a professional here. The storyteller's production was to die for. I tuned in to this audiobook, and it was definitely motivational. Let me see ... how should I say this? It was professional, uncomplicated, and understandable. With that being stated, yep, I do highly endorse the audiobook. No doubt about it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 maybe. Also if you’re going to do an audiobook don’t say “impordent” when the word is important.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Captivating story telling. Explores the could be facts and fictional tales of a legend. Loved this, would recommend as a quick listen to those interested in Vikings.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dear consumers, I really hope you see this message. I want you to understand that this is an amazing audio book. I do not always enjoy any audio books, but this one stood out. And since it did, I began listening closely to it. It was some of the best time I spent, especially because I was doing some other things in the meantime. The ideas from the writer made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with everything, and that's another reason that I am so excited about this book. The writer did not arbitrarily pick little bits and pieces of bad advice, but instead, sorted out the statements enough.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I Loved it. Learned a few extra tidbits about Ragnar in a short time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Easy listening and it helped me understand his story better
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not bad in any way. I think it's 1 of the very best audio books on the market. I highly recommend this book for several reasons. Such an intriguing idea. I believe I will let my brother or sisters partner listen to it. They need to understand that there are actually audiobooks like these on the market.
