This review is specifically for the audiobook.

The translation was very good and three of the four narrators did a great job. I found introductory/informative narrator difficult to understand, it almost sounded like they were mumbling at times, so I didn't enjoy the book as much as I expected to.

My least favorite of classic Greek stories, the scientific and psychological worlds don't mix properly.
