Extraordinary narration. Every character had a different voice, inflection, and rhythm.

I adore this novel! Your voice was spellbinding. I finished it early this morning and I was balling! What an epic. Thank you!

[@sherriebrand6829]

I agree with post above, Mr. Hoffman does an incredible narration. I was shocked it was all done by one man. And yes the first time I've ever heard a man able to believably perform women's voices!

Mr. Hoffman does an amazing job in his narration delivery👏🏾

[@grashkastefanczyk1309]

Hands down the best narration I’ve ever heard! Not only wonderful annunciation, captivating voice but also feminine voices, different accents (including eastern European) and dialects. What a treat?!❤

[@KEMawhinney]

I am not usually a fan of audio books but your narration was captivating! I could not believe how easily you flowed from one character to another- each so different sounding! I can still hear your voice in my head a week after finishing the book!

[@AudioFileMagazine]

That's a sure sign of success! 🤌🏽
