Meditations

Not a huge fan of the reader. Voice is far too monotone. The tone is far too bass and could probably be adjusted.

Classic with subpar narration

Meditations is a classic and recommended reading for most. However, the voice of the narrator and the choppy reading made this audiobook tough to listen to. I recommend foregoing this offering and reading the Kindle version.

Good book, bad narration

I really like The Meditations, unfortunately the cadence of the narrator made this book hard to listen to. He speaks very clearly but I found myself tuning him out and losing interest due to the tone and cadence.

A hard one to listen to

I had to keep coming back to this one. Couldn’t just listen straight thru. Partly because of narrator’s delivery and partly due to the thys, thees and thous..

very moving

i have learned to be very contempt with myself and those around me being annoying or friendly. I can be stronger in will thru patience and learning how to cool my passions
