I thought it was really hard to read the first time I tried. I ended up just having it on my bookshelf for over a year until I tried again.

When you listen to it, you can hear the tone of the voice, and it helps you understand what a character is trying to say even if they're saying it in a way that was only understandable 200 years ago.(less)
