Disappointing. Repetitive and shallow.

The Virtual Voice was OK except it's pronunciation of Japanese words was totally off. It is hard to listen to since it is about an ancient Japanese religion. The word kami means spirit or god. The continuous mispronunciation of it was irritating.
I listened to it for about 30 minutes and the word enduring was used many times. It seemed almost an outline, not a book. It was not engaging. Gave up on it.
