The first Plantagenet king inherited a blood-soaked kingdom from the Normans and transformed it into an empire that stretched at its peak from Scotland to Jerusalem. In this epic history, Dan Jones vividly resurrects this fierce and seductive royal dynasty and its mythic world. We meet the captivating Eleanor of Aquitaine, twice queen and the most famous woman in Christendom; her son, Richard the Lionheart, who fought Saladin in the Third Crusade; and King John, a tyrant who was forced to sign Magna Carta, which formed the basis of our own Bill of Rights.

One of the worst readings I’ve heard. The performance is utterly lifeless and monotone. Within 5 minutes it starts to sound like the grownups from Charlie Brown. Wah waaah wah wah-wah waaah. It’s unbearable.
Please release a new edition with a suitable performance.

Would you listen to The Champion's Mind again? Why?
Yes, I listen to it frequently. While not an athlete, I find the concepts in the book very effective at keeping me focused and motivated in my work and life.
What other book might you compare The Champion's Mind to and why?
Win Forever, by Pete Carroll. More motivation and concepts to achieving greatness.
Would you be willing to try another one of Eric Michael Summerer’s performances?
Yes, but I'd prefer other narrators. Eric's narration is clear and understandable, but often sounds a bit mechanical and unnatural. Sometimes it's as if my computer is narrating for me.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I get extremely pumped and motivated for my week
Any additional comments?
Would be 10/10 if the narration were a bit better, but it's not so bad. I still listen to it frequently.
