Reviews

every book so far has been riviting.


(5 stars)

Excellent reader, riveting story!


(5 stars)

Contrary to what another reviewer wrote, I found this reader emotive and pleasant to listen to instead of the flat, monotonous readers of some of the other books that I have listened to. I am looking forward to hearing other volumes read by this performer.

(3 stars)

The text is 5 stars....the reader that is either Canadian or British has a strong vocabulary I am confident but has a reading comprehension issue ...the sing-song method of reading dramatic prose works well in some books, this being not one. I would recommend a greater self awareness and a selective reading list for this particular reader. What a shame.
