About this listen

A better deal could not be out there. This valuable box or combo contains six titles that are each targeted towards a different area of the world. Most are in Europe, and a couple of them beyond that continent.

You will listen about myths, deities, people being killed, people betraying each other, animals that can talk, supernatural powers that are exerted, and much, much more.

Each of these audiobooks is not only filled with the stories from those times, but a number of background details of that particular society as well, so you can better understand how people thought and why these stories make more sense in the historical context.

Feel free to begin reading or listening anytime, but I would encourage you to start right now.

A mediocre recitation

Maybe I was going into this with overinflated expectations, as I was looking for a definitive guide to the great mythologies of various cultures. A few hours in, I gave up. Although the book isn't that bad, it certainly is not overly engaging. It more or less seems like a thematic recitation of data, not a comprehensive overview making all the interesting connections at the right points. It is good if you are new to all that and just want to learn various small points. Bad, if you are looking an imaginative and in-depth analysis.

The reading itself is problematic as well. The reader's tone varies and sometimes pauses in weird places. The "s" sounds are always pronounced in a rather outstanding and annoying way. The reading is breaking the flow of the text and making it harder, instead of easier to follow.

I guess I will just look for a podcast on the subject.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
