Screech in the background

There is a terrible high pitched screech in the background that I’ve never had on any of my previous audible books. It was very distracting.

Wonderful lesson to be learned

Insightful little story that gives some lessons about giving that everyone needs to think about at Christmas. Gave me good memories of my childhood when I read it the first time.

Gift of the Magi

I'll keep this in my phone forever. To maybe have my son listen to every Christmas. To remind him of what Christmas is really about.

Perfect Book

This book is perfect for my high school sophomore class. It is a very easy read. They all got A’s on their test without my help. The performance is very bad though. The performer was very bad with the pronunciations. I think it would of been better with an actor, such as Hugh Jackman, as the performer/ reader.
Thank you

Fun, quick, listen

The story was more contemporary than I anticipated. Very cute with a loving Christmas twist.
