Critiques


(5 stars)

Cliff Stone reads this book quite well, aside from a couple of mispronunciations. He maintains a good pace but does not rush, he pauses effectively and he generally ensures that stresses and emphasis assist the listener in understanding the meaning. He also avoids the tendency of some readers to slide over syllables and make the word unclear.Richard Hannay is a Scot brought up in South Africa who lived there until he was 37 or so - so an Australian accent for him may be closer than that of a UK or US reader.
