Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was impressed by Jim D. Johnston's straightforward narration, which allowed Kramer's expertise to shine through. The author's discussion of Sumerian myths and their significance is both informative and engaging. The pacing is well-balanced, making it easy to follow Kramer's arguments. If I have any criticisms, it's that some sections feel a bit dense, and a few transitions between topics could be smoother. Additionally, I would have appreciated more context about the historical context of the myths. Overall, however, this is a great introduction to Sumerian mythology, and I appreciate the production's attention to detail.
