Campbell is a brilliant writer and scholar, both prosaic and well-researched. The scope of this work is astonishing. It furnishes many wonderful stories, discoveries, and observations, and it does not shy away from the brutality and intimacy of some of its material. Definitely requires focused attention and multiple listens.

Remarkable piece of work

As much as the material is interesting, the voice is mind numbing, and tenders the listener to sleep quite quickly.

Only good for getting to sleep
