- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Might have good information, but I wouldn't know it through the snoozeworthy delivery of the narrator. Could be good for putting you to sleep at night.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audiobook was definitely worth paying attention to, in my view. The 5 stars really should be 6 stars. Yes, that's right. You heard me well. I think it's so good that it ought to have 6 stars. Not only did this book sound like it was excellent quality, but it also taught me essential things about life, and about this topic in particular, obviously. So, it definitely deserves a couple of hard-earned stars.
