Yes! Very educational!
Would you consider the audio edition of Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son Being the Letters Written by John Graham to be better than the print version?
A lot of thoughtful life lessons given in a humorous way. Knowing that this is written in 1890, a lot of life truths must have started with this book. Interesting to take part of more than 120 years old knowledge that still is so up to date. Everyone should read this for his/hers upbringing.
Who was your favorite character and why?
We hear the fathers voice reading his interesting and educational letters to his son.
What about Alan Taylor’s performance did you like?
The narrater has a nice, calm voice that makes you listen with interest.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I have listened to this book in one sitting, but I want to listen to it ones more. I know that listening to it ones more will help me to capture more of this wisdom.
Any additional comments?
