Why, Oh W H Y do you continue to offer audiobooks read by adanoidal American amateurs? People WILL pay extra for professional actors.

I would have at least lost nothing if I did not enjoy. The language, despite being written a long time ago, is very easy to pick up and follow. . Every time I have started reading it, I have been sucked right into the core of the tale, the predicament of the castaways and their struggle against the forces of nature and their quest for survival and felt like I was one of them Every time I have started reading it, I have been sucked right into the core of the tale, the predicament of the castaways and their struggle against the forces of nature and their quest for survival and felt like I was one of them

Wow really this is the good book, i like this good book. Really The Last of the Mohicans book is a great book for me .its a very awesome book the hole book contain is a very good story .Last year I participated with a group of friends in doing a Secret Santa. This was the book that my Santa gave me (as well as Gulliver's Travels). I think it was because of the fact I was moaning about the lack of any Verne on Maui. I am SOOOOO glad my santa chose this book for me. It was amazing. Yes there were some dry parts, unless you like painstaking detail about how to make Iron or Bricks, but even they were quickly dispatched, and could be skimmed without really mising anything.t has taught me many lessons in writing. I never new Jules Verne was so good. I highly recommended
