Critiques


(5 stars)

The best of readers. His voice is clear and easy to understand. He has the right amount of character differentiation, not going overboard. The recording sound quality is excellent. I will read every book I can with him as reader. The reader makes the book.

A great story and read


(4 stars)

This book is excellent. It is classic Henty. The sub story about the will was nice but the movement of Ralph and his experiences were the best part. I think Henty was right to not make it just about Waterloo but instead made it about Ralph. Lots of historical data and imagery. Worth a read or listen.

Excellent read - a super saga and story of the times surrounding youth, piracy, young love, military service in the infantry of the day with an excellent detail of the battle of Waterloo.

VINTAGE HENTY


(4 stars)

The description of the great battle was, as usual with Henty, vivid and very understandable. Mike Harris, who has narrated several Henty books, is a pleasure to listen to, great pronunciation and always with proper volume.


(4 stars)

The reader was excellent. Storyline was typical of G.A. Henty, the boy’s historian; pirates, intrigue, soldiering, and Napoleon.

Another lovely Henty book


(5 stars)

Great history book with engaging plot and storyline but the best part of this recording is the reader. Mike Harris is phenomenal. Especially with all the French pronunciations. I know G A Henty wrote his books for the school boy but I very much enjoyed listening to this as an adult. An excellent way to learn about and enjoy history!
