Content; GREAT! Performance.. .not so much😁

Not terrible...but, close.😁
The narrator doesn't know the language. Hopefully, there's something on Audible, covering the "range" of work, contained herein, performed adequately. Disappointing.

Great reader, great stories

I enjoyed hearing the classic stories and novels that I already knew and loved, and greatly enjoyed many stories that were new to me (such as McWilliamses and the Burglar Alarm). Lee Howard read exceptionally well - good timing, good use of expressive voice. To criticize him for not having a southern accent is like criticizing someone for reading Dickens with an American accent.

Unexpectedly Entertaining

I just have to say the burgler alarm story in chapter 42 is alone worth the money I have listen to that story 42 times and find it simply some of the best use of the English language and simply the best poetically writing i habe ever had the pleasure of reading and hearing. Narrator choice of words was superfluous the whole Book
was Heterogeneous! I loved it

Great stories but...

I wish the narrator would do the voices. Its hard to know who's talking when there is no difference in tone or voice or character

Great reading, some editorial mishaps.

So far I have only read a portion, performance is great, clear and full of emotion. I did notice that the well-known warnings at the beginning of Huck Finn are missing, which would be something to regret.

great stories.

creat stories just not well acted. kinda flat. put in some emotion. lack of knowledge of the newonces of the language. ain't no southern in him.

I love Mark Twain

After hearing Elijah Wood perform one of Mark Twain’s novels - with perfect accents- no other reader will ever be as satisfactory. But I still enjoyed this collection.

Twain’s artistry keeps me listening, barely

A lot of Twain is written in dialect which I understand can be hard to read well, but this narrator doesn’t seem to understand how to figure out what the word should be and mispronounces several. He also doesn’t do much to differentiate characters, which is unfortunate because, again, Twain wrote conversations and didn’t indicate when speakers changed in the text very often.

It was good enough to keep me listening, but broke immersion frequently.

Outstanding wordsmith

Narrator did a great job. 15 word minimum 15 word minimum 15 word minimum 15 word minimum

Big commitment to listen to it all but worth it.

so delightful to hear all the stories I never finished in school. The narrator is excellent and made it worth the commitment to finish the whole 58 hours.
