Quirky but charming

Revisado: 09-15-21

The main problem was that the version I downloaded was missing the first 1 hour, 30 minutes and 55 seconds of the recording, which is a significant portion because the whole piece is only 1:54:51 in total. The recording begins with the final 24 minutes of the book, starting in a totally random place. These final moments comprise Chapter 1. Then Chapter 2 is the beginning of the book through where it abruptly ends (the same location where Chapter 1 started). So the main body of the book is situated after the ending. This is some type of technical problem on Audible. It happened when listening on my phone and it also happened when I streamed it directly from the Audible website on my PC desktop. I deleted it from my phone and re-downloaded it and the same problem persisted. I ended up needing to purchase this recording from Google Play Books in order to get a copy without this major technical glitch. If Audible can fix the problem someday, then it is not a bad title.

Don't expect anything in-depth. It's a cute narrative that doesn't purport to be much, and its length is a clear telltale that it's not going to go in-depth. Nevertheless I learned a few things and it increased my interest to see the real tower someday. The interstitial accordion music is hokey and unnecessary, but if you are in good humor when listening, you can imagine a well-meaning person wanting to infuse their impression of a Parisian atmosphere into this brief but sincere love sonnet to the Eiffel Tower.
