If you don’t Sow, you can’t Reap

Necessary read for youth. A great companion for the readers, philosophers, life changers of the Word. Emphasis on biblical principles, ideas on how to have a productive life helping others.

Such potential........

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The fake Morgan Freeman voice acting and the piano in the background make this to be an extremely hard listen. I think the voice actor is extremely talented, BUT with this fake 1920s former slave voice is horror-awful.

What could Booker T. Washington have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
No music

How could the performance have been better?
Speak normally

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment

Any additional comments?
I don't mean to be disrespectful of the actor I am sure he is very talented. The piano is too loud and he comes off over acting.
