Thank each and everyone who took the time and effirt to read this great tale.. It is marvelous to have a wide variety of people bringing the story to life.. By your generous efforts you bring great enjoyment and really improve the lives of those of us you will never know.. Thank you again

yes, the first reader has a very heavy accent. I brought the playback speed to slightly below the midpoint, Maybe around 45%, if you can think of it that way. doing that helped me get through this wonderful novel, but I'm in the EFL /ESL teacher of many years. my final verdict would be that this rare Jules Verne novel is definitely worth a listen if you can accustom yourself to the accent.

Great book

(5 Sterne)

I liked the first + last reader the best. Kristine has a really nice voice :) the book is great. good for fans who like the (true) story of the Terror and Erebus

I enjoyed part I very much. Has Mr. Smith ever considered narrating this story? I would enjoy his notation of this outstanding book. Joseph G Krestan. Louisville, KY

concentrate?

(2 Sterne)

I don't believe I should have to concentrate on figuring what the reader is reading rather than the essence of the story.

terrible reading with a thick accent.
