Reviewer: Well, wow! - September 20, 2018 Subject: The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain I agree with the previous reviewer that the narrator was not so great. But I did listen to the story all the way through, and got used to his voice and cadence. This is a gem of a story, and is very relatable, how a spirit of negativity can be contagious, but so can a spirit of compassion. Worth mustering through! At least read it yourself if you can't get used to the narrator! |
Reviewer: dg - April 24, 2017 I'm sure it was an interesting story, but the reader was so irritating I couldn't get past the first chapter. I even checked ahead to see if he read all the way through...he does. |
