Welsh Joke

Listened to this and wish it had been read by someone who understands the Welsh language. The reader has no idea how to pronounce anything in this book correctly. Luckily most words are in English but the place names and historical people in this book need to be read properly by someone who knows the language of the books subject. It made the book barely listenable as I am Welsh and I cringed every time a word was destroyed. Worst audio book reading in Audible history.

An insult to Welsh history

To employ a narrator whose pronunciation of basic Welsh names is on a par with a Royal speaking in Geordie shows a total lack of sensitivity about the feelings of the Welsh. I can only think that the producers of this abomination mean as an insult to our country. CYMRU AM BYTH

Only buy if you want to laugh

Pretty clearly the text is auto-translated from another language and then it's read by someone who can't pronounce the most basic Welsh (or in some cases English placenames).

Hilarious

This has to be the worst history book ever! I'm finding it hard to say anything positive. Returning it for a refund.

Dry and Boring

I was taking a trip to Wales and I’m a history buff but I couldn’t get through this short book. It was written and performed in such a mechanical way.

good for bullet points

If you want bullet points, no detail, and what sounds like AI reading this is for you. if you want it in story format, look elsewhere.

Rudimentary

I only got 10 minutes into this before I had to turn it off. What I heard was terribly narrated and the writing was very basic and scattered.
