Really interesting and well written

The narrator doing high pitch voices for female characters was difficult to listen to. Other than that it was pretty good.

Good content poor performance

The content is good enough however I struggled with enjoying the voice performance. The voice actor is young, which I dont think fits a book on ancient Egyptian myth, and annoyingly raises his voice when impersonating female characters. He also has a twangy Australian accent which sometimes pierces through. Sorry I just didnt dig his voice.

Thoroughly entertaining and informing

I enjoyed this book immensely, especially the genesis of the gods. I was also entertained by a single narrator reading all the parts, that really works well.
