Took me weeks to finish

In a good way. It made me fall asleep so fast that I had to listen to it bit for bit, going back to where I fell asleep to continue it the next night. The narrator's voice was very soothing: deep and slow and very comfortable. The story also fit the occasion. I was not aware Voltaire had written a story such as this one.

Can’t stop listening

Love the story and the narration is perfect. I can’t help listening over and over. it helps me sleep and the story takes me away. It’s a clever tale which resonates in every way with me. The story was written a long time ago, but still relevant today.

The best story to fall asleep to

Very calm and restful. The best relaxing story I've found to help me drift off.

Snooze worthy

It’s so boring that it’s perfect to fall asleep too. Narrators voice is monotone and relaxing, sends me to sleep instantly
