Fascinating!

Absolutey fascinating stories, and the narration is divine. I had no idea about any of these stories before, but look forward to watching the Olympics this year even more than usual keeping these booty-kicking women in mind. Recommended!

Lifeless narration of a beautiful story

Monotone. Drones on.
These stories should be read in color not greytone.

The narrative seems a little dry to me for children’s literature. Where’s the energy?!?

Terrible Narrator!

She sounded like she was reading a 5th grade paper out loud in class! I would have enjoyed the book more with a better narrator!
