Nobody's Boy

(2.3 stars; 10 reviews)

One day, French mason Jerome Barberin finds an abandoned baby boy. As the boy is wearing fine clothes, Barberin hopes that he is the son of rich parents who will reclaim him soon and offer a reward to Barberin for taking care of him. He therefore brings the boy home to his wife, and gives him the name Remi.


'However, no rich parents ever turn up to reclaim Remi. Instead, the family falls on hard times and Barberin wants to get rid of the boy. When Remi is eight years old, Barberin sees his chance in the travelling artist Signor Vitalis, who is travelling through France with his three dogs and a monkey. Vitalis offers to take care of Remi, and they travel on together. While Vitalis is a kind master and teaches Remi lots of useful skills, the two also suffer poverty, and Remi still lacks knowledge of his true heritage. Summary by Carolin, with help from Wikipedia.

Maybe I should read it? Is that a helpful suggestion when a member offers well intentioned feedback to an organization purporting to provide narrations of public domain books? If I wanted to read a book would it make sense to come to LibriVox? Elli sounds lovely but she should not be narrating books in English. For her to be told otherwise is unkind to her and unfortunate to listeners. If you take the time and resources to create an audiobook why do it if the final product turns people off and drives them away? The service is free but that shouldn’t mean you get what you pay for. LibriVox is doing a good thing but it means nothing to anybody if a performance standard is not set and followed. There are countless books that are so bad that they should be heavily edited, reread or tossed. On the other hand, the great majority of readers do a good job and deserve our thanks.

I have to agree about the reader. Ellie has a pleasant voice but I can't understand her at all.

Wow! What an awful reading! Who can understand this? It makes my bones itch listening to her read, I keep wanting to help her sound out the words correctly.

So, why don't you read it then? There is an accent, yes but it definitely is understandable and the voice is indeed pleasant :) Btw., there are readers without accent, too.
