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.
