Much better than I anticipated.

I love this audiobook. I've never had much of an interest in government, but I believe I'll listen to this over and over. Interesting and well done.

Well done!

Historically robust! As well as current. Thoroughly satisfying. Easy to Listen to and worth listening to again. Very well done.

Excellent book on the history and execution of the United States Constitution

It is always a pleasure for one to know where they came from that they might recognize what needs to be changed to accomplish one nation under GoOD...Knowledge is power!

Love it!

Learned so much and never got bored. I'm sure I'll listen to this one several times.

One of the best!

From the beginning I noticed that the narrator seem to know very well what he was reading until I realized that it was the author himself the narrator! He seems to be more talking to you than reading it. Relaxing, scholar voice in a book with treasuries everywhere to be found, not only about the constitution but also about American history, American law history and politics. Dr. Arnheim is surely well-versed with the American constitution and law in general. Great book! Great author!!!

Great but wow, bad timing

This seems to have been written and read at the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019. Wow, have things changed since then. I look forward to the update, it will be quite a bit.

Continue lear

Well researched and laid out in a manner that is easy to follow even when listening at 1.5X speed. I will most likely look for more books from this author.

well told from the author himself.

I listened to this entirely over 3 days and probably will again soon. The narrator is also the author so I feel he describes is intent very well.

Fundamentally Informative

The book was interesting, but long winded. The narrator/author also digressed rather frequently. I got what I wanted from the book, but would have appreciated something more to the point.

Great reading!

Dr. Arnheim did a fantastic job and delivering his own book in audio form. I’m so grateful to have learned a lot from his work and will definitely look at referring to others. Especially my dad.
