weird vocal affect of narrator
Revisado: 10-02-21
I love w.f. Harvey but the weird vocal affect of the narrator made this unlistenable. it's not an accent it's a strange wooden unvaried tone that makes it hard to pay attention to the fiction

Tobias Smollett, in his creation of the Scot Roderick Random, exposes the sheer incompetence and injustice of the Royal Navy, as well as the snobbery and hypocrisy prevalent in English middle-class society at the time. Set in the mid-18th century, this picaresque novel follows the life and adventures of Roderick, the eponymous hero who has been shunned by his gentleman father's family on the basis of the lowliness of his mother's family.

Tobias Smollett may not be for everyone, but I'm a huge fan and I consider him a master of the picaresque genre. He also apparently was a huge influence on Dickens , but I prefer him to Dickens . This interpretation by Peter Kenny is excellent because he is able to do justice to the many different dialects and character voices and really bring the work to life
