Cute Story - Excellent Narration

(4 Sterne)

The only reason I give this story a 4 is that the stories within the story did not always seem to flow together as well as I thought they could have. It is a sweet book though and quite appropriate for children. The narrator was wonderful and her charming accent made my journeys to and fro to work a wonderful escape. I would love to hear this narrator again.

Unfinished

(1 Sterne)

I enjoyed the plot line about Jenny and she was a likeable character. But I didn't think much of the stories that the other characters told. So I listened to the first third and the last quarter of the book and left it at that. The narration was great though. Many thanks to the reader.

Nice light story

(5 Sterne)

Thanks to this excellent reader for keeping me company on a long car ride. The reader has a nice voice and good delivery. The story kept my attention but didn't require a lot of concentration. (Which is good in the car) 5 stars for the reader, 4 for the story.
