Not a great history

Revisado: 09-10-18

Imagine someone reading a textbook to you in their second language. Now imagine that is recorded, poorly edited, and you just paid to listen to it.

The story is alright. The facts are all there and I did add to my knowledge of the wall. However, there is a lack of a narrative. This work reads like a set of events and dates listed in a textbook. The insights at the end seem crudely juxtaposed and have all the revelations of a high school history paper.

The narration made it very difficult to listen. This may mostly be the fault of the editor. The woman reading has a pleasant and clear voice, but there are hundreds of constant and unpredictable pauses in her speech. These were so prominent that my mind frequently had a hard time forming sentence structure while listening to this. The narrator pauses before saying difficult words, tunes out midsentence, and generally seems like she is reading through the book for the first time and having a difficult time with it. Her inflection is completely unpredictable.

Confounding this, the recording often repeats sentences or paragraphs. I found myself checking my phone constantly to make sure the player wasn't glitching. It's as if the editor never gave the completed final product a listen.
