Playful and serious

The differentiation between when things were lighthearted and gravely serious was executed perfectly. The gravity of certain situations was definitely captured correctly.

Fantastic revist to my childhood

It was wonderful getting to revisit my childhood with the books that started my love of reading.

How he brought the character's to life.

Truly enjoyable, he took the time to give each character thier voice and voices that perfectly fit them!

The narrator was very distracting

I loved these books when I first read them 30 years ago. They are good fun. A little flawed here and there but generally a good time. The characters are the best part. The narration sapped all of the fun out of them. His delivery didn't capture the charm of the characters. Even worse, the accents he used were inconsistent and distracting. All of the tough guys sound straight out of the Bronx, no matter what country they are from.

Excellent voice control and different voices...

A great telling of the book!!! Definitely a great book to listen to... Well done!!!
