Old English

A little hard to understand but a good message. This could definitely be modernized and it would be better

Meh

After the extensive build up of anticipation for the magic story by the narrator, it was a little bit of a letdown to hear the actual story. I don't know what it is, but it was not as earth shattering life-changing as I thought it would be! The reading itself was great, just a little light on the content.

Great Listen!

Would you listen to The Magic Story again? Why?

Yes. I already have listened to it several times. I enjoyed it and seemed to have gotten something out of it.

What other book might you compare The Magic Story to and why?

The Magic Story is unlike any other I have heard.

What about Howard Rip, and Zvika Furman’s performance did you like?

Their accents made the tale more colorful and enjoyable.

What did you learn from The Magic Story that you would use in your daily life?

Believing the message of The Magic Story, or some element thereof, whether true or not, made it very easy to improve my confidence and assertiveness in a very positive way. It has only been a couple of days but I feel different and people seem to treat me differently (most certainly a reaction to my change in demeanor). Regardless of the reason(s), it has been a very positive experience.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book. I would recommend it to anyone with an open mind.. What you gain from this book is entirely your choice.

No Magic here

The only thing magic about this audio book is that it makes your money disappear. What a waste.
