Extremely Repetitive.

This repeats stories (like the creation of the world) an ungodly amount of times. i think by the time got half way through it, i had heard the story of the great ginnungagap 8 or 9 times.

it also loves to use the line 'be that as it may' constantly aswell.

it has good information in it but the construction and repetitions of stories makes it extremely difficult to be able to stand/follow.

Google translate book

I think they sent the Norse teanslation through google translate and called it a book. Tells the same stories over and over again. I got bored

This book touched my Mind

This is a very basic book. Which was exactly what I was looking for. Very easy to understand and a great first book for newcomers like me, to the world of crystals. I think that if you are a beginner who wants to get a good start this is the book for you!. I would recommend it highly. It is also a great book to keep on hand as a quick reference which is why i bought it.

Would not recommend

I found this audiobook pretty difficult to get through. I am highly interested in the subject and I usually fly through audiobooks, but I kept prolonging this one. I'm not sure if it was the narrator, who was very monotone, or if it was the author. Either way, there was a lot of repetition and I found it very hard to listen and keep track of what was going on. I would not recommend it.

Disjointed, terrible writing, robotic reading

Repetitive, disjointed, a hodgepodge, translation was awful, overuse and misuse of so many phrases like "be it as it may". The reader was the unholy robotic child of Siri and Lord Tarkin.

terrible

so hard to listen to...it sounds like a bad GPS computer voice. I thought the storys would be more in depth but its very basic...almost like a bad text book

Repetitive moments

Be prepared to hear the phrase, Be that as it may... FREQUENTLY. Otherwise, informative but info circles back repeatedly. Maybe to help it sink in?

Viking Mythology

I found this book to be a bore. I am of Danish and Scots ancestry, so am very interested in this subject. Personally I think this is the worst book I have listened to on this subject..
If you want to hear the author opinion on films or
Marvel comics then buy. If not save your money or credit and get a real book as there are many out there. This author doesn't even bother to use the English language but preferes to speak in slang. One of the worst books
I have ever purchased.

Oh bloody hell

The content of the book itself is great, it's a shame the guy reading it struggles to make sentences sound natural; putting emphasis on the wrong words, speaking in monotone, and at one point exclaims "oh bloody hell" in the middle of a sentence that he mispronounces before going back and rereading it!

read by a robot, unintelligible

the auto voice is ridiculous and makes the book unintelligible, do not buy, avoid the frustrating stupidity of the AI narrator.

repetitive poor performance

badly edited. constant repetition. the whole thing would probably be a third as long if read once.
the performance was like listening to a news report , very matter of fact. making it very hard to listen too.
I gave up after multiple attempts to finish it
