Lu par LibriVox Volunteers

(2.3 étoiles; 7 critiques)

From 1880-1883, the author undertook an academic expedition to Australia, with the purpose of recording zoological phenomena. While there, he developed an interest in the indigenous people and, unlike contemporary studies, did not restrict himself to appearance and outward behavior, but rather looked at the social, economic and anthropological. - Summary by Lynne Thompson (0 hr 56 min)

Critiques

My Good Sir?


(4 étoiles)

Look closely and you'll see this is read by "LibriVox Volunteers." I'll put this simply, that means there's more than one reader. Apologies if one is monotone, just listen on and you'll get a new reader soon enough!

The book is quite interesting but for a person with English as his first language it is sometimes difficult to decipher what is being read. I realise that the readers are volunteers but who decides who the reader is? Sad to say the readings by Jim Locke are extremely difficult to sit through, very uninspiring,a pity because the book has some inspiring passages.

Another potentially great LibriVox recording totally ruined and made unlistenable by this unbearably dull, lifeless, monotonous reader.
