Fabulous Narrator

One of the best narrators I have ever heard. Wonderful voices, with tone, pacing, and accents that bring the characters to life. If a character grates on you, it is because the narrator does his job so well. I will definitely be returning to hear this one again!

My favorite performance!

Love this story even more when performed so masterfully! Even if you have heard or read it before you must treat yourself to this version.

Incredible story, Perfect storyteller

Loved it! I read this book as a kid and remember liking it, but didn't remember the actual story. The narrator is perfect, and the story is just so beautifully done. This book is full of great life lessons.

Masterful Reading

Although a tough story at the beginning, it develops into a wonderful story of true companionship.

Met Every Expectation

Classic, beautiful, amusing, heartbreaking and satisfying story. It was performed with the perfect amount of animation, using a variety of "voices" from the single narrator, that clearly enhanced the story and its nuances. Top notch.
