Critiques
A terrible book when it was written but useful for history
Jim Davis
This book was a lewd and scandalous novel when it was written, and no self respecting person of high morality should have admitted to reading, much less enjoying, it in its contemporary day. As a nugget of historical context, however, it gives great insight into the processes and culture of the day.
Excellent
Marjorie Sertl
The reader is fantastic. Pleasant voice, easy to understand, doesnt go loud or quiet. A+

Brilliant reading, though the text is somewhat niche

I don't know how I made it through this book. Yes, it takes place in bygone years but what Peregrine Pickle considers good jokes on his friends seem downright mean to me. Some parts made me laugh a lot. Other things he did were hard to fathom. I doubt I'll look for volume II.

I especially enjoyed it and the reader I would listen to it again
