The tone, the pacing all worked for me.
The narrator kept blowing air through his nose and sucking in his breathe. It was grating over the course of the book.
I think this needed editing.
It was mostly like listening to a college lecture. I like that just needed the audio cleaned up.
This author doesn't have as much info about the situation with Louis XVI & Marie Antoinette as far as their actions while under control of the government.
I don't necessarily agree with the authors findings in all cases but I like that he labels Napoleon a dictator. ( )
