Reviewer: Mary A. Pilar - October 6, 2020 Subject: The moonstone One of the few books that invite you to read it again and again. |
Reviewer: james millward - September 30, 2018 Subject: the moonstone Great story but too many narrators are being used in this production. its very hard to keep pace with the amount of different voices...i had to give up the story on the seecond period because the russian ladies accent was just too strong and unintelligible for the story to be comfortably listened to. great shame |
Reviewer: dg - January 11, 2017 An extremely long book, but very interesting. I don't recall any reader that was so bad I couldn't continue listening. I thought maybe the accent caused some of the words to be mispronounced. |
Reviewer: Sherry - April 19, 2016 Subject: Loved this book! Long book but I loved it! Moving on to Robinson Crusoe....smile! The book is told by different characters so the various narrators reflect that -some are better than others but overall it is a wonderful story -great detective stuff, humor, romance, and insight into English life in that era, and how much is still the same today! Loved it! |
Reviewer: Carla B - August 20, 2014 The first part is well read. In the second part, a non-native speaker takes over. Too many pronunciation mistakes and a very heavy accent, so I had to quit at the beginning of the second part. |
Reviewer: User - May 18, 2014 Part 24 - so many mistakes in pronunciation!!! it was real torture to listen to! |
Reviewer: Susan Joyce - March 17, 2013 The readers who are not native english speakers. |
