(4 stars)

I like this reader's thoughtful style of reading. Great travel stories.

Another WONDERFUL reading by Ms Baker


(5 stars)

A lovely little book, extremely well read, by one of my favourite readers on this site. I have listened to all of the books she has read, they are a delight. I'm very sorry that some idiot cumsock has felt the need to spray his misogyny all over Ms Baker's efforts with his repulsive, inaccurate and innapropriate review. Another idiot man ruins everything and demonstrates why we can't have nice things. He may as well have written that review with his cock, for all the relevance it has

Brilliant reading
