Should be part of the any classics list

(5 Sterne)

The story is thrilling, although being at the same time very realistic. I almost was put off because it has more than one reader, but I am glad I was not, because they all did a great job.

(4,5 Sterne)

I am pleasently surprised at the unprictable rises and falls in this novel. I did not want to stop listening. It was great! The second reader detracted from the enjoyment of the text. That is the only reason for 4.5 rather than 5 stars.

Surprisingly Enjoyable!

(5 Sterne)

So far I've really enjoyed DuBois' fiction! The reader who begins in the second chapter is excellent! She is expressive with clear diction and a rich voice. I hope she reads another novel for Librivox!

(5 Sterne)

Wonderful story of the great things we knew were possible, even in times when hate and greed dominated society. I enjoyed the story and the reader.

(5 Sterne)

Excellent book and reader. It was sweet, difficult and educational role all into one.

Great Book
