Reviewer: Cindy B Squidtoaster - April 17, 2018 Subject: Excellent story I’ve read this book at least five times. Hearing it read aloud to me was a treat. I wish however that there had been only one reader. The first was best. The two following readers had a different rhythm that distracted me at times and their occasional mispronunciation of several words made me cringe. Otherwise, I loved it. |
Reviewer: Panda - February 23, 2017 Subject: Yay! Love it! Wish they had kept the first guy, I could listen to him read an auto repair book! He's wonderful! The rest were good too but I was slightly crestfallen when I realized reader #1 wasn't doing the whole book. |
