voice ruined the story

(2 Sterne)

the guy reading most of the story ruined the whole thing for me. rarely do I leave a book mid-story, but I could not finish this. I have no clue if the book was well written or not. I could hardly even follow the plot bc the voice was so irritatong.

Interesting Story

(3 Sterne)

Obviously written for children, albeit rather dark for that audience. Very informative on relief work in London, accompanying a nice little story. The character of Mrs. Frog particularly struck me as authentic and someone to sympathize with. The readers were fine overall, though the recordings were less strictly edited than usual.
