I love this book so far (just finished part I). I've read and listened to a few different translations and versions and I like the Ormsby translation best. I think this is a great reading.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Some of the other reviews complained of Expatriat's reading style, but I think the dry style of reading added to the ridiculous adventures of Don Quixote.

The reader is difficult to follow

The text may be a brilliant classic — I haven’t read it yet — but this reading is truly impossible to follow. The reader has a rather nasal voice and thick accent from goodness knows where in the United States, and reads monotonously without regard to sentence punctuation or structure. It’s very difficult to understand because he doesn’t stop at the end of sentences, and stops in the middle of them…. It’s a wasted effort really. Sorry Mr Expatriate, you need to work on your reading skills. And in the meantime, I’ll read the book myself

Great job!

Wow, great job reading this whole text! I don't think I could have gotten through this book as a physical copy; while silly and hilarious at times, it drags a lot at others. But both the performance and the status of this book as the 'first modern novel' deserve praise!

Excellent reading centres the hilarious satire

Thank you to the excellent volunteer for making me laugh out loud so many times while listening to this. The delivery fits very well with the absurdity. It’s absolutely incredible how modern this book feels considering its vintage.
