good story but long

(4 Sterne)

A good story with humor and action. Unfortunately the male narrator's cadence does not fit the meaning of the sentences and you have to strain to get the meaning. I found this distracting and annoying. The storyline redeemed it for me, but that may not be the case for everyone.

loved this book

(5 Sterne)

Anything written by Richard Dodderidge Blackmore is a pleasure to read or listen to.
