Chapter 28: In Which Passepartout Does Not Succeed in Making Anybody Listen to Reason

I should have read the reviews before downloading as the reading is quite tedious. The transition from voices to a monotone run-through is abrupt and it gets difficult to follow along with who is speaking. The basic gist is still there but some major points were missed and I had to double back. I also noticed that during several chapters it sounded like the reader was sucking on something. The teeth clattering and spit sucking made me cringe.

Lacking Effort

As other reviewers have already pointed out, this Lit2Go recording starts out admirably, with the reader providing a nice variety of voices complete with French and British accents, and a good steady pace. I enjoyed the reader&#39;s indulgence in these effects, and was very disappointed when halfway through, Russell chooses for some reason to abandon his diligence, and blaze through the sentances as fast as he can get them out of his mouth. It renders the entire effort completely worthless in my opinion. I suffered through two chapters of the cascading waterfall of words, hoping it would get better, but finally gave up in disgust. 

What a complete butchery of a classic. Lit2Go should pull this recording promptly, and re-read it with a narrater who doesn&#39;t sound like he&#39;d rather be anywhere but behind the microphone.

Love Verne, hate this read.
