Really Captivating!

This was a really great read. It may have been written before its time, grin.

Lovely bit of nostalgia

This was one of my favorite books as a preteen, I dressed as clementine for book character day at school and everything! I cant say i love the narrator’s voice, another review likened the performance to Siri and honestly they wasnt super off. But i love this book so much that i could look past it. So interesting to revisit a book after growing up, becoming a mom, living life…still cant stand Jen, though, so some things never change! Ha!

Robotic Narration

I have read this book yearly for nearly 20 years and never have I read it in the morose, robotic tone that this narrator has done. It makes it almost unlistenable. The narrator’s cadence is off, she ends each sentence with an audible exclamation point. The only time the narrator animates is when she recites dialogue. Too bad, this is one of my favorite books. I’m pretty disappointed.

Great book!

I listened to this book in three days! Very entertaining story. The narrator did a great job portraying the different personages in the book.

Fun story, robotic narration.

I originally read this book back in the 90s and it was a favorite. Decided to give it a listen for the sake of nostalgia. Story is still fun and I enjoyed reliving the characters i remembered from my childhood read. My only complaint, is the narrator sounds robotic. It sounds like Siri is reading lol. Other than that, I am happy with the purchase.
