- Helpful but..
Is vary helpful when I’m doing stuff so I can but it in and do the thing I need to get done.
I do wish they would do it more like a book instead of having the sounds of a play…I can get confusing at times but it’s still vary good.
And they need to do more, they don’t have king Henry the 5th or the other part of king Henry the 4th (part 2).

The pace is too fast and the sound production overwhelming, if the source material wasn’t impenetrable enough.
