Story grabbed attention from the start; and it's 200 years old! To be a good narrator keep pace, clearly enunciate, be interested in the material. The authors intended people, both men and women to read their works and enjoy them.

I feel very few people have read a book of this size out loud...given we also have no idea the time frame she did it in. So given that I think her pace and animation is pretty good and very consistent thru out.

the narrator pauses between every word. That is the way ESL students will mostly speak English but for reasons easily understood. There is likely the dear but erroneous intention to make every word intelligible to every possible listener including the blind, who one gathers have zero problem with audio intelligibility. Fluidity, ie, 'legato' is an enhancement to comprehension and especially expression, not their enemy. The velocity control in settings helps, but a regular expressive delivery would have been just dandy. But great to hear it anyway, thank you.

I couldn’t stop until I’d read the entire thing. It absolutely amazed me. Never forgot this. Not I’m back to listen to it again as a 41 year old, while doing light housework. Lol.

I love to read and spend much time doing so, but was very interested in this story when I saw the title, so took a chance on being read to for a change. I'm so glad I did! I'm 53, and no one has read to me since my mother when I was a child, or my children when they were learning, so thank you so much, Sue. You've been a genuine blessing to me and I've had a wonderful time listening to you ply your talent for us. God bless you!

Interesting how rigid were minds of the English. The captives seem to have learned the language of their captors. Yet the author has a wife who he sent away. How different were the Frenchmen in eastern Canada who settled with their wives and children. And Scots, demobilized from Fraser's Highlanders after the conquest of Quebec City. Thanks to the French and the Scots many of us who are Metis have spread across Canada.

This is where you will learn the real true old knowledge. I have gathered much of this, even some of the secret knowledge. I'm not Native but I went out in the forest alone, to live and test some of the knowledge. It's TRUE to the Universe, I found. .. I can communicate with wild animals and I shapeshifted into a Bear.
