yes, the first reader has a very heavy accent. I brought the playback speed to slightly below the midpoint, Maybe around 45%, if you can think of it that way. doing that helped me get through this wonderful novel, but I'm in the EFL /ESL teacher of many years. my final verdict would be that this rare Jules Verne novel is definitely worth a listen if you can accustom yourself to the accent.
Great book

I liked the first + last reader the best. Kristine has a really nice voice :) the book is great. good for fans who like the (true) story of the Terror and Erebus

I enjoyed part I very much. Has Mr. Smith ever considered narrating this story? I would enjoy his notation of this outstanding book. Joseph G Krestan. Louisville, KY

I don't believe I should have to concentrate on figuring what the reader is reading rather than the essence of the story.
terrible reading with a thick accent.
