What a Ripoff
Paying full price for an audiobook that is 1hr 20mins long, I was hoping to discover a treasure trove of facts and interesting stories that I could share with my son when he grew up. Instead, I got someone babbling on about ancient wars and people/stories that would only be interesting to (some) British boys. Not much substance. Would not recommend to anyone.
