Excellently performed, useful gem of wisdom

This must be quite a difficult book to read, but it is so well performed. The content need no further praise - this is a classic piece that should be read or listened to by everyone.

Great but repetitive at some places

Loved it, the main points from the story are great. However, towards the end got a bit repetitive. But definitely worth the read. 😊

Valuable life lessons

There was a moral to every story. The narrative painted such a detailed picture in my head as the stories unfolded as well as educating me to much wisdom. The reader was also a pleasure to listen to. Very good read!
