The book is an interesting review of Leni Riefenstahl's life and works. Not great but very comprehensive. The book is read by Henrietta Tiefenthaler, "an actress, writer, and editor of Austrian descent". She has a very thick Germanic accent which may add something to the authenticity of her reading, but it is abundantly clear from the reading that English may not even be her second language. There a frequent mispronunciations of fairly simple words and odd pauses and rythm. If German were not my second language, I would have been hard-pressed to understand her at times.
