Critiques
Outstanding! Simply outstanding!!





potuc
Utterly classic book, and fantastic story, masterfully read by Mr. Clarke, who is definitely one of the top 10 LibriVox readers. My most sincere thanks to Mr. Clarke for reading this, I would recommend this audiobook to anyone looking for a nice, long listen! :)
Dumas & Clarke: a brilliant performance





JulieMarie
I wish I could convey to the narrator, David Clarke, how deeply I appreciate the great gift of this performance and the many many hours of enthralled absorption it has given me. Clarke's extraordinary rendering of this incredible novel does great justice to the author's genius. Love love love all the accents!!! Who could predict that one would wish a story this long to be even longer? I never wanted it to end! Such a fortifying escape from the tedium of contemporary news and politics. Thank you, Dumas, Clarke, and Librivox!
Amazing





Sofia Perez
I put off reading this for so long bc of the length but a friend whose opinions often match mine told me it was worth and oh boy this was so good. And the reader does a fantastic job he does multiple accents as well as speaks French and Italian in some places. This guy is probably one of the best readers I've come across on librivox I wish he had recorded more





Lette Tiangco
I love this. David Clark is an amazing reader. He used different voices that made it easy for the listener to understand the story better. More power to you, Mr. Clark. I'm a huge fan.
Speachless.





CFBLAKE
This is one of the best books ever written in human history. The end. I don’t have enough words to express how good it is. Full of trial, mystery, love, hate, truth, beauty, everything you can imagine in a perfect book. So so so worth the time of listening to it. A big big thanks to David Clarke who did an absolutely fantastic job reading this and giving great voice differentiation and emphasis. He did such a wonderful job. Can’t imagine what i would do without this book. Thank you. Like really do listen to it. All the way the end is so good too. SO GOOD AHHHHHHH JUST GO LISTEN TO IT!!!!
It was highly recommended and now I understand why.





Steven Dommann
When I was a teen my father recommended this book. He discovered it as a holiday read when he was a teen. The copy I bought was daunting with very small print and I just got too busy to tackle it. Listening to it so read so well brought this story to life. My regret is that I never got to discuss this work with my dad as he passed away a couple of years ago. Thank you LibriVox and Mr Clarke
Wonderful Narrator





Hannah
This was a great book to listen to during my daily commute. Thanks so much to the reader who did a wonderful, professional job, complete with a ton of different accents. The story itself has a great beginning, and if you can stick it out through 20 or so tedious chapters in the middle, it does pick up and get much more exciting again (like it was in the beginning) about 2/3 of the way through.
One word: PERFECT!





Lemya Majabri
this is not a review of the book --- it's needless to say that it's a state of the art book --- but a review of the narration. it's excellent! i can't thank the narrator enough for allowing us the chance to live this book in such an emotional, breathtaking way. thank you David Clarke.
