The Credit Waster book

Good but the length is too short.. Only contains one story.. Before buying pls check the tone of the story and then go ahead if you want.. It's a waste of one hard earned credit point..

Lovely story!

I loved the book! sound effects were very good. The sound of the girl pleading the God of the forest was really emotional.

Beautiful children story

Not so much for adults. But gives a great taste of Sudha ji's artistry. I'll suggest her other books to my nephew and niece.

Felt Cheated paying Rs 140 for a 11 minute audio

Felt Cheated paying Rs 140 for an 11-minute audiobook.
Thought like all Sudha Murty books, this will also be consuming.
Sat to listen in leisure. When it started and when it ended was a surprise. I thought, I have not been able to download fully. Again downloaded but in vain.
Really disappointed.
