good story

the story is phenomenal. the narration is terrible. it was ok at first, but it got worse as the book went on.

Such an awesome story

I loved this performance, so refreshing. Just wish I would have read it sooner. This will gets listen to a few more times.

Good story but language is indiect

The story is good but it was hard for me to get through. Imuch prefer direct speech.

Excellent listen!

The characters brought well, great story! Highly appreciated and recommend. American history at its best!

Nice voice but atrocious French pronunciation

While I make it a point to listen in and make sure I enjoy the narrator, this time the sample did not prepare me. The narrator sadly has no concept of French pronunciation and since the story deals with the massacre of Ft. Henry and the French troops and their leaders feature in it, at least the basics would be necessary to make this enjoyable. I have no doubt that the narrator would be great with other stories, but foreign languages are not his forté and I do not recommend this recording. The voice of the Scotsman got better as the story progressed, but the French.... imagine Pepe Le Pew reading it :(
The story is a classic and a masterfully spun tale, but I do recommend you look for a different recording.
