A Huge Collection of Myths read for you
Book: ***
Performance: ***
This is a very big collection of many of the Egyptian Myths that we know about today, so in that regard, this is a very ambitious undertaking … but there are only limited comments introducing each that don’t really provide any help interpreting what these myths are supposed to represent, so they remain fantastical, and somewhat entertaining if somewhat strange, stories with about as much punch as a comic book. I was hoping for something with a little more academic context and struggled bit paying attention to significant tracks of, what is a reasonable narration of somebody simply reading each story (so not much in the way of inflection or character voices that you might expect in entertainment audiobooks). The value here is almost exclusively on the volume of narration that you get and not so much on the slightly less than average quality.
I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
