Pompeii: A History of the City and the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius

By: Fergus Mason

Narrated by: Jason Sullivan

Gone in an instant.

Pompeii was one of the most advanced cities of its time; it had a complex water system, gymnasium, and amphitheater. Despite its advancements, there was one thing it wasn't ready for: Mount Vesuvius - the volcano that led to its ultimate doom.

The 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius was one of the worst disasters in all of European history. In a near instant, over 15,000 people were dead and a city was completely destroyed.

This audiobook looks at the rise, fall, and rediscovery of the great city of Pompeii.

The narrator mispronounces words

I was annoyed by the butchering of place names, but hearing the narrator talk about findings of “volcano-ologists” about Pompeii is too much. The tone of the narrator’s voice is ok, but the fact that he couldn’t be bothered to learn the right way to say the words, when all he is paid to do is read a book on history, is ..... very annoying.

Horrible

Juvenile, embarrassing, and off topic. Audible should have some minimal standards for the books they offer. A complete waste of time.
