Reviewer: Timothy Ferguson - - September 20, 2011
Subject: I quite liked this.
I suppose it was mostly shock at how different the book is to the later versions I've seen, but I thought this was a great deal of fun, and I didn't share the previous poster's objections to the reader.

Subject: a caveat
Librivox contains many fine readings, unfortunately this version of the Jules Verne classic was far too variable in reading quality for me to enjoy. Though the reader does put some acting verve into his dialogue, he stumbles over other words as if still learning them.
It is not too much to ask that readers practice 'difficult' words before committing them to a public collection. Fortunately, another version of this book is under production, having listened to initial episodes I would recommend waiting for this coming version.
