The topic was well covered for this just being a summary.

I liked that the highlights were covered without too much horrific detail. It was nice to receive a story based on facts without the person interjecting their own opinion. The narrator's voice captured my attention and had me focusing on the story. I stopped what I was doing to continue listening.
