Reviews
Reviewer: thecrwth - 12/16/2007 3:52 Subject: Ruined Reading Impossible to listen to Although she has a very pleasant speaking voice, she needs to breath between words. She goes so fast that you can't follow it. Good God woman, BREATHE!
Reviewer: TheBookworm - 12/19/2007 23:16 Subject: A very fine reading Very good English accented reading of this classic. A bit fast, however, which is why I give it 4 stars. Karen's readings are great. I recommend listeners search for her name here and at Librivox.org If you're reading this, thanks Karen for much listening pleasure.
Reviewer: AvidListener - 12/19/2007 23:34 Subject: Excellent stuff... Very nicely read, Karen. Keep up the good work!
Reviewer: Starlite001 - 12/20/2007 0:01 Subject: Amazing reader!! Oh my goodness! How can you say she was a terrible reader! Karen is one of my all time favorites! She does all the accents terrifically well. I totally enjoyed her reading of this lovely story. Thanks Karen!
Reviewer: NicLynn - 2/4/2009 22:18 Subject: The Story of the Treasure Seekers Nice voice and accent. However, the reading was too fast to be thoroughly enjoyable. There doesn't seem to be any time to think about the story along the way−−only enough time to listen and keep up.
