Thank you, Jonathan! It is joy to listen to your reading. I love your easy to understand accent (English in my second language and some accents are too hard for me to understand). I laughed aloud hearing Penrod's interpretation of his world. Although stereotyping of "color people" is not politically correct, the book shows true face of the society. We have to remember when and where book was written, but is modern society much different from the one described by Booth Tarkington?...

Very enjoyable book, I cannot imagine anyone bringing this book to life in the way that Johnathan Burchard has. He is Penrod! Thank you Jonathan, I listen to all that you have recorded. I wish there were more. Sincerely, Julia.

well-read, highly amusing, highly racist


(3.5 estrellas)

Very well-delivered reading. The story itself is hilarious, but is blighted by the tremendous evolutionary racism common to Tarkington's times.

Appallingly racist. Amazingly funny. If you can put yourself back in early 1900's Indianapolis. A tragically flawed masterpiece.

Unfortunately, the narrator's cadence is very jerky, he spews out individual words rapidly like a machine gun. There is no verbal flow into sentences which makes comprehension an ordeal. Many simple words are pronounced incorrectly, i.e. "wands" instead of "wounds". It's as if he hasn't read the text ahead of time and therefore has no idea of the meaning of the words or that there are sentences there. He needed to take a breath, relax, take his time and read the story. Good try but I had to take a pass which was disappointing because Penrod is one of my all time favorite characters. The book is laugh out loud funny, as is Penrod and Sam.
