Reviews
Elly May
A good story. Mostly well read, but my heart does tend to sink when I read the words 'read by librivox volunteers'. Some chapters difficult to follow.
JID
really enjoyed this book. and although all who participated in reading t he book did a great Job (especially Rachael) i would have preferred less change overs in the readers.
Average, but entertaining Henty
Lynn Allen
This book was an average, but entertaining Henty novel. it has most of the Henty qualities and was enjoyable to listen to. recommend!
NEVER TRUST LOUIS
Avid Listener
The first Hanoverian rulers were assuredly poor ones, but one shudders to even consider the consequences to England (indeed, to the world) if the papist Stuarts had secured the throne as virtual puppets of France. The book presents a sane look at the events from the viewpoint of a nominal Jacobite.
It started out well.
Satyaban
It started out well then the readers changed to one child and one adolescent. It just turned me off.
