Reseñas


(4 estrellas)

I liked the story, however, I almost stopped listening after the first several chapters. The narrator of the first several chapters was excellent, but after that the narrators had poorer sound quality and made some pronunciation errors, especially with nautical terms.

Very poorly narrated!

While no doubt, some narrators are much better than others, which is to be expected, it is not at all pleasing to listen to some voices. Poor voices totally spoil a book. This is one such book.

Loved it

The first reader, Adrian, I believe, was just great. The rest were tolerable although I don't understand why one of them gave Bob a Scottish accent. The story was excellent with a very happy ending.

treasure Island esque but still fun
