This reviewer’s rudeness is cruel, selfish, and offered in a misguided spirit. FYI, Librivox is home to thousands of hobbyists around the world who enjoy recording books, and hundreds of volunteers who help put them together. We don’t sell our books and you don’t have to listen to them. Especially in collections of stories and essays like The Rover, listeners can just skip over the recordings they don’t like, or find some other sources to listen to.

Mr Locke, you must be a most horrible person! No matter how many bad comments or reviews you get you continue to choose the most interesting reads and narrate them. You are selfish and cruel. I wish with all my heart that LibriVox would permanently ban you!!!!!!! Please find some other means to entertain your sadistic sole. Like pulling the wings off flies!
