Reviews

decent


(4 stars)

The reader pronounces the R and S sounds very softly, which makes this take more attention than usual to understand well. Her timbre sounds like a child’s voice, which certainly gives a certain mood to the book.

hard to hear


(1 stars)

I love Christopher Morley, but this reader is challenging to understand.
