Enriched Classic Version; a GREAT classic

For those seeking an audio companion for the Enriched Classic edition of this book, you've found it!

Contrary to several reviews that complain of excessive omittable detail and cataloging, I found every passage to be both relevant and exciting. Truly a modern epic!

The narration and audio quality were perfect too.
