### 3/5 — Would be 4 outa five

*2022-02-18*

Over all not the worst, only bad thing is some of the classics are Narrated by inconsistent and or disjointed orators.  Sometimes it can really take away from the story. But it’s a good way to start out.

### 1/5 — Where’s the good books at.

*2019-04-11*

Where are the good books at., these books are okay but they are boring. Love the lay out but just don’t enjoy the books that so many apps have, all the apps have these same books including the ones you have to pay, but they will offer them for free, and it is also hard to understand some of the people who were reading the books, so sorry 😐 I’m deleting the app.
