Narration Ruined the Story

A wonderful story, but I couldn't take the mispronunciation of some of the names and places.

Retuned and will purchase a better narrated edition. 2.5 stars

great

its an awesome book. great narration made it even better . loved it. strongly recommend

Read this book.

"He did not study God, he was dazzled by him."
I thought at first having only watched the recent movie that it was long winded... But being many times starred at for my bursts of laughter or the many attempts to restrain tears, I can see as I have felt the build up was worth it.

Beauty found deep in despond.

The plight of humanity seen through it's lowest eyes with such dignity.

God can not be seperated from the story.

This book is a giant.

this book is boring

If you want something to fall asleep too this is the one for you but idk about anything else

Fantastic story

This is a great story that has had many adaptations. Be ready for a long tale with a great narrator.

French history with the subject of a beautiful soul

Very long and hard book to read. The story of a man who thought only of others even after being wrongfully convicted for stealing a loaf of bread due to his family that was starving. Darkness overshadowed his soul until the kindness of a bishop turned his life around and brought him out of the dungeon of despair. He then went on a journey to help the poor and found love in an orphan girl that he raised as his own daughter. Life for him was always one step away from the law that wanted to throw him back into the galleys. Great book on forgiveness, love and redemption. This translation was to me, the best one and also follow the audible that I used when I didn’t have to to read I could listen to it instead.

I love this book but

I love this book, but the reader bored me to tears. Nope. Look for a different reader

It's a great book, but a horrible narration.

The narration is painfully mechanical - more like chopping wood than telling a story. The emphasis and intonation are consistently off the meaning. As a listener you have to make an effort to understand the structure of each sentence. Each sentence thoughtlessly chopped up into equal-length accented bits without regard to its meaning. I couldn't finish the first part. It's a shame I can't return it.

HORRID NARRATION

Really bad. Even attempted a French accent when reading dialogue with the precision and character of a pedantic chimpanzee.

Excellent novel, dreadful narration

The narrator is overly slow and animated and cannot pronounce even basic French words.
