Engaging and enjoyable!

Loved the voice actor! Very engaging and fun story, I enjoyed it even as an advanced learner (C1-C2). Bought the Kindle PDF too. Highly recommend!

Excellent!

Great story and narration. Enjoyed reading a few chapters at a time and then listening with audible for a second read.

Great learning tool

Fun story but needs authentic female voices. The story was easy to understand with excellent diction. The story flowed well with a surprise happy ending.

Great if you don’t mind that men do the female & children’s voices

I started listening to this audio book to improve my French listening comprehension. The story was interesting & funny at times. It was a bit weird that they have men doing the voices of the women & children & unfortunately the narrator was no Jim Dale, I’m sad to say. Nevertheless I’m glad that I listened to this audio book. It has improved my ability to understand conversational French & that was my goal.

Good learning experience

I've got this book to refresh my French and I'd give 5 stars if not for the fact that all personagens, indifferent of gender and age, are played by a male adult. It would add to the learning experience to hear women and / or children voices. Otherwise it's a good book for intermediate level
