just say it once

Didn't like the constant repeating of facts already covered in previous chapters and bouncing around

Poor

From Value projection: revisionist history, to porr narration, mispronounced words, poor editing(sentences repeated) this was a hard listen. Hard to recommend.

first two books are the worst performance ever.

all 3 books repeat themselves, even with the same sentences. it became boring and repetative.

Ugh what a waste

Bad narration, pronunciation, editing, and a crazy repetitive narrative that skipped over a lot in order to focus mainly on William Wallace and Robert the Bruce (with those stories especially Wallace repeated and repeated).

Enjoyed learning about early Scotland

The book repeats itself a lot. Some stories went over three times.. it was well written.

A broken record

Struggled to finish due to it telling of the same events repeatedly over and over. Every time you think it is finally going to continue with the time line of events it goes back to the same time frame and same story making it hard to follow at times.

Three drafts of the same words...

The length of this audio book is achieved by the fact that it keeps repeating the same narratives three and more times. Imagine listening to many different drafts of the author's much shorter work. Gives an unfortunate new meaning to history repeating itself.

Good, but

I really liked this history of Scotland. My only complaint is that I would have liked to hear more about the Jacobite rebellions and the Highland Clearances.

redundant and amatuerish reading

poor reading, emphasis, and phrasing
hard to follow narrator as there are some words mispronounced
it was like it was this narrator's first job

poorly edited, dryly read

narrator was dry and poorly faked accents. Numerous technical editing mistakes. Is LGBTQ progress a critical criterion for a chapter of Scottish historical advancement that covers millennia when it just pops onto the scene at the last decade?
