Although I enjoyed listening to most of the chapters, several I had to pass over because of the unintelligible reading. I believe it would be in the best interest of Librovox to use readers who have English as their primary language if they read for English-language books. Several of the female readers could not be understood at all.
Very engaging text, almost entirely well read

The portraits the subjects are very detailed and seemingly objective, with interesting analyses and inspiring philosophical observations. All readers performed very well, except one, whose strong accent of Romance language and fast speed make it largely impossible to understand.
