Great

This audiobook made George Washington’s speech (original version) much more understandable.
It is very well narrated and gives a good summary of the key points of the speech.
It was very helpful in my research for class.

This is a good reading. I appreciate it. Thank you. Must read for all Americans.

Must read!!!

Every person in America needs to read this! I can’t understand why schools stopped making this a mandatory read.

Confused

18th century writings have always been a chore to follow, with the flowing phasing and sentence structure. But it's usually in one liners or paragraphs. This speech was a tad too long for me to reap the intended message.
