(5 Sterne)

Someone to read Mrs. Beeton to me! Now if LibriVox just did windows you'd be absolutely perfect.

pretty good

(4 Sterne)

I enjoyed listening to this book a lot, though some of the readers were not all that easy to understand

(1 Sterne)

the reader for chapter 10 part 2.. is terrible!! not even 5 min in and I may have to skip over completely because all I am hearing is the noise she makes at the end of every word. it's killing me

boring :-( :-( :-( :-(

(1,5 Sterne)
