The perfect voice to put me to sleep in 3 minutes. It didn’t matter what he was reading, A voice that hypnotizes you, The subject matter was really irrelevant and I think he is the best of the narrators.

Don’t worry about the maths you’ll be asleep’

5 stars for something that will actually make you fall asleep. The voice combined with the subject is perfect for the part. Listening to it when awake and trying to pay attention is not a very good idea.

Sure to fall asleep

He has such a quiet, calm voice, perfect for soothing you to sleep. I tried all the bedtime stories, bit this one is by far the best. I've downloaded this story and it's the one I use every night. I've not gotten to the end of the story once!

Perfect.
