Reviews

Great but...


(2 stars)

This is such a fun book, unfortunately the narration is not so good, hence the two star rating. Gutenberg has a copy with the original illustrations. The pictures add so much to the text. I would suggest that listeners take a look if they are able to.

A Yay and a Yikes

Half this book is read by someone whose accent is so heavy you can't really understand it. I am sure this book would be more enjoyable if those chapters were re-recorded. The chapters I COULD understand were pretty funny. I think I will read this one from the Gutenberg project.

over my head, but...
