Critiques
Very good
A LibriVox Listener
Very good story, would have benefited from having one good reader throughout but most of them were ok apart from the dire attempts at an Irish accent by some....its a sad story, the main 2 characters being the priest and Thady are well drawn, the story moves along nicely and I found myself interested throughout....Trollope is a fine if partly forgotten writer
Wonderful
A LibriVox Listener
Heart rending story. Trollope is a poet of prose and a genius of construction. A rival to Shakespeare and the author of Beowulf.
well written sort

Story is quite good, but please , please please don’t do character voices unless you are a trained professional.
