Review of "What's the deal with Adults and Coffee?"

It’s incredible how as children we wonder many things. Ten year old Sylvia brings out a very important question in her audio story, because as children we wonder why our parents or relatives like coffee so much. Her overall interview is incredible she makes a’ lot of good points throughout her audio story. The overall tone of the audio is good, her voice sounds perfect. Sylvia does an awesome job on interviewing different people and incorporating all of them throughout the story. It would have been interesting if she would have added music, just to add a little enhancement. But overall I really enjoyed listening to this story.
