That's the one that threw me the first time round but after listening
to it on an audible version (iPod) I got familiar with the
pronunciations and the rhythm of the language. Then reading the
book again in paper format I heard the rhythmic voice from the
listening. I don't honestly know which was better, reading it or
hearing it but you're right, jbor, it's beautiful and convincing.
