From there things only get worse. When things take a turn for the worst, how will he respond? (Summary by GabrielleC) (8 hr 19 min)

WRONG READER FOR THIS BOOK!!!

This was certainly not Henty's best book, but a better narration would have helped. I have heard this reader on chapters of multi-reader books and the approach has always been the same: unprojected speech at "fast forward." One or two chapters are liveable, but an entire book? No thank you! If you are staunch fan of Henty you might persevere as did I, but for prospective listeners who are not familiar with his historicity, I urge you to seek other of his books first.

The authorship certainly would cause a reader to have high expectations of an entertaining book. The story can not be entertaining if it cannot be understood. I could not understand the dialect. Since I couldn't decider the words, I had to stop listening. So many words seem to be in a foreign tongue. A version #2 could be of great help.
solid enjoyable book.

Reader was very animated. She even did a passable version of the rather difficult brogue set in portions of the dialog. Some lack of clarity, so should not be listened to in a noisy environment.

Book was good; main reader needs to slow down just a wee bit. Can’t understand some words because they are all run together.

Speed reading and poor diction impossible to listen to this. Story might be good but could not listen beyond the 1st chapter

she sounds like she is reading with a retainer in her mouth. I hope she got her teeth straight and is a beautiful swan now, because she sounds like the ugly duckling for this reading.
