I liked the reader the most. I find every book he records and listen. He’s the best. He is dearly missed.

Can’t Stand Reader Farley

Revisado: 03-13-23

The story is fine. Not great but it’s ok. I can NOT stand the voices of Rupert Farley. His voice for Sharpe is exceedingly repulsive. It almost more than I can take. It IS more than I can take. I stop and listen to a Sharpe story read by Frederick Davidson to calm down. I am sad Davidson died and crushed by his loss of his voice in his remaining months. Hey, Audible, is Farley the best you can scrape up! Whether Farley is reading characters the reader is to like or despise, the voices he picks are unlikeable. The reader ends up not liking to listen to any character. Patrick Harper is the only character the reader semi enjoys hearing talk. I don’t like Wellington’s voice but I do when Davidson narrates. And when Farley has Sharpe call Wellington ‘ the Duke’ , you’d swear a bootlegger from the probation 1920s is speaking. Painfully horrible. At least he’s consistent. The worst reader ever. Test him against Frederick Davidson. Pick a Sharpe book. Pick ANY story read by Davidson. Pure joy. Try PG Wodehouse if you love to laugh. Jeeves and especially Blandings. I’ve been listening to Davidson since Blackstone days - on tapes - since 1990. Late 80’s. No more Farley! I beg you.

Wish Frederick Davidson was the reader

I put this off as long as I can. I have 2 more of RF’s to suffer through. The kicker is I had to PAY to hear Sharpe’s story read by Farley. I can not abide the voice Farley uses for our hero. It’s a cliche Hollywood Central Casting 1920 gangster voice. Frederick Davidson voices for the Sharpe series are magnificent. I miss Davidson. (1943 - 2005) M J.

Spoiler: The Reader

Revisado: 02-27-23

Not a fan of the reader, Rupert Farley. I don’t care for his choice of voices. No, not at all. It’s a good story. I just can’t abide the key voices and I frankly can’t stand his voice for Richard Sharpe. MJ

Another superb plot -

Read by the BEST READER EVER. And don’t miss Frederick Davidson’s reading PG Wodehouse. The Blandings series and Jeeves series. Hours and hours and hours of delightful joy. Can’t listen without laughing out loud by Davidson’s voices. I wish more Sharpe books available on Audible. Some Missing ones are on YouTube.

Beautifully Narrated by Frederick Davidson

I love any book narrated by Davidson. None better than FD voice. He brings a heart touching tenderness to Sharpe. Sharpe fan

Stickeen - the story of John Muir and a dog

Revisado: 08-25-22

Whom so ever chose this weak 'READER' , Andre Stojka, with his frail, sing-song, unmanly pathetic wormy little voice to bring this wonderful dog story and Muir to life, should be fired. Allow John Lee (White Fang) to redo Stickeen. This experience took John Muir 20 years to finally be able to write about his hair-raising adventure he had on a glacier with this brave and loyal little dog. Stickeen was the dog of Rev. Samuel Hall Young's wife who was my great-grandmother's sister. Both my great-grandmother and my grandmother, the niece of Hall Young, spent many years in Alaska in the 1880s. My great-grandmother spent four years there in on a civil service teaching assignment. 20 years later, my grandmother spent two years in the late 1890s also teaching.

This is a great dog story - maybe the first great American dog story and your reader, but Andre Stojka, slaughtered it.

I WANT MY CREDIT BACK - B. A. C. K. ASAP

This is the best.

Do yourself a favor - revisit this story. It is one of 3 classic dog stories- White Fang and Stickeen by John Muir. A story of all times. Of course, it is by Jack London. - Mary
