Missing relevant navigation

Good narration. The navigation of the read was clunky. Please add a pdf that outlines what each chapter
contains. Bonus points for time references for easier navigation.


Actually loved the summary at the end of the book, but
Found I really wanted that information at the start of each book, rather than receive it at the end.

Needs Titles

Unfortunately, this Audible lists chapters as Chapter 1, 2 etc, but because of the content, they REALLY need to put the book titles in with the chapter numbers. As it is now, finding books is a mess.

Please Label the Books

The various books in this compilation are just designated as numerical chapters rather than Nominally Titled

Fine collection ruined by terrible narration

The main complaint here is the narration. Jarring pauses as the narrator struggles to muddle through names of people and places are distracting and the narrator sounds like he has major sinus issues. I’d return this if I could.

the books themselves arnt the issue here

the main issues with this copy of the apocrypha is that the books arnt labeled in the table of contents. these are separate documents, they should be labeled. instead wr have Chapter 1, which goes jo for the whole book, then chapter 2,which goes on for that book. we don't know which book is which. because of this I would not recommend this as you can't listen to maccabies without consulting a paper copy nor Enoch unless you already know what you are reading.
