Reviews

Urban Adventure


(5 stars)

An amusing story and well written. Every reader was excellent. I cant help but wonder what some of these complaining reviewers are doing here. It seems they'd better suited watching a Marvel movie.

Patchy delivery


(3 stars)

very Avery entertaining story (remeniscent of Hogo's "Les Miserables) ruined by unintelligible accents and poor recordings Not allreaders ate culpable, indeed, some are excellent. It is worth persevering with the bad bits for the sake of a decent narrative.

Sad


(3.5 stars)

Narrator was great, but I just finished the 6th and final volume and wanted to warn others that this is a very sad story. Don't get emotionally invested in this series if you want to avoid sad stories :(

Fairly interesting story, though it relies on ridiculous coincidences for the plot. too much description at times, lots could have been cut out. some of the readers are unclear and some cannot pronounce French names at all.
