Reseñas

good book, ok reader


(4 stars)

maybe I am picky but I did not enjoy the narrator as much as others. she did a good job just dull during even some very exciting desturbing parts of the story. very monotonous tone and rhythm. a good story though

Verne is Wonderful


(4.5 stars)

The story was great, complete with twist in the plot. The reader was good but had a pattern that didn't fit at times. All in all, good.

My Favorite


(5 stars)

I love this book and the reading. It is so amazing how Verne interlaces Poe's original story into his own---and expands it. Very clever. You really have to listen carefully to get all the details, but it is well worth it. I give this book---and the reader---ten stars.

Long and Disappointing


(1 stars)

If you found this Verne story long and boring, I encourage you to listen to The Mysterious Island read by Mark F Smith. A fantastic story by Jules Verne wonderfully read by Mark.

great reader. the book to me wasn't that great.
