Reviews

[Matheus Evangelista De Souza]

Pretty underwhelming third act. He's too easily forgiven.

[Kenneth Atchity]

Unreadable

The font is completely garbled from beginning to end and it’s impossible to find a way to explain to audible!

Listened to the audiobook. Was interesting but I never just listened to a play. Was a bit hard to follow for me, but amusing for three hours of painting
