Needs a new performer

I struggled a bit with this book. The performer struggled with pronounciation and there were awkward gaps. There were also some problems with grammar, but I am not sure if those were based on the performance or the author.

The material was accurate, but the author's writing style seemed a bit immature.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
