Reviews
A SNARE OF SNARES
AVID READER
Sabatini is best with his action novels (Captain Blood, for example) but his "wordy" novels are also great. He skillfully ensnares his protagonists in such a manner that the reader feels their agony. Then, when he extricated them. it is with extremely thoughtful methods, and the reader is also relieved, but never with the idea that it was quickly contrived. Our narrator did a wonderful job, but I wish that he could have sent us pictures of his trek.
Some pretty interesting pronunciations of words by the reader!
Joyce
"Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to deceive." Sabatini does a good job of portraying annoying human nature. It was interesting following the reader around South America in the early months of 2019; I wondered how the outbreak of COVID-19 affected his travels? The reader has a clear voice with entertaining interpretations of the characters' voices and pronunciation of words.
excellent book
A LibriVox Listener
my favourite time period, the peninsular wars... well written and well read. I suggest to the reader to perhaps avoid accents if not sure about them. the "british" ones at the beginning sound like southern USA. Very neat also to hear all the cool places the reader was while he recorded!
A MUST READ
