Could Have Been Better
The reader has an enviable voice, and you cannot beat the price. Unfortunately, he has a rushed, slightly nervous delivery that never settles into a smooth flow. When he stumbles on a word, he pauses, draws a quick, audible breath, then forges ahead. Many of these passages should have been re-recorded until they sounded right. Editing is tedious work, but it simply must be done to achieve good results. I also found his mispronunciation of "monsieur", a word that appears on virtually every page of the novel, to be distracting. "Mon-sure" quickly grew tiresome. These recorded books are a terrific free service and I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I believe I'll spend a few bucks to get a more listenable version.

More reviews of A Tale of Two Cities
its good but the mans voice and the sounds of his swallowing and exaggerated breathing is extremely annoying

I really enjoy these free audiobooks. However, book the second, chapter 14 seems to be missing!
