Couldn't get past 7:25 minutes. The descriptions were the stuff of horror - NOT something to go to sleep to! I know you didn't write it, Otis; I just couldn't get to sleep to it. Have loved all else. Krista P.

The most relaxing voice ever! I am very sensitive to sound and it is hard to find the right voice when it comes to audio books. it's a shame you don't do more of some books, I enjoyed the secret garden so much and would have been great to have more of the best parts of the book.

I would like to hear "To kill a mockingbird".

I feel like a child again, tired but awaiting expectantly for the story to begin. The soothing voice takes me far away from the world's troubles, and leads me into peaceful sleep.
