Engaging story!

(5 Sterne)

Fenton’s Quest is a good story with somewhat predictable outcomes. It is a fun read. One reviewer mentioned the frequently mispronounced words and it is astonishing especially for a professional. However, his voice is very very nice making it easier to overlook. I don’t know why folks don’t look up words with an unusual spelling such as “gaol” (jail).

Great Story & Good Readers

(4,5 Sterne)

I really am enjoying Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s stories. There’s always an interesting twist and some mystery. I enjoy it more when the readers are good and they all did well with this one. I do have to say that IT’S PROSTRATE NOT PROSTATE!!! (and a few other....well, lots of other mispronunciations).

(5 Sterne)

I enjoyed this typical Braddon novel. Set in London and the English countryside during the mid-1800's this story includes love, hate, greed, true friendship and other character traits of today. Very good narrations.

(3,5 Sterne)

By modern standards, perhaps this is an overly long, meandering, story; and though I thought that of it, it was a decent, interesting tale that also gives insight into our antecedent culture.

An Intetesting Journey of lives

(5 Sterne)

Despite all the Hardships they all had to endure,all was well in the end..a very good listen

Amazing story

(5 Sterne)

It was great story even though I guessed what was coming but still lots of twists.

very long

(4 Sterne)

good readers...please look up those pesky English words such as "quay." it is pronounced"key."

(4,5 Sterne)

Another great story, the reader Kirk's voice was really good to listen to.
