![]() We get to hear that the good doctor is thinking about how to save a situation, but we don't hear his suggestion, and it's not entirely clear why Mr Giles and Brittles are being "bullied" or why Oliver is able to tell his story to the Doctor and his friends. Thirdly, a section of the book appears to be missing. Firstly, while most of the characters are well voiced, some of them do appear to merge one with another at times, at least to my ears! Secondly, there are a few audio distortions and Gerald Dickens does sometimes seem to be a bit too close to the microphone so that popping noises are quite frequent. It doesn't get top ratings for three small niggles, but they may matter to others who are more particular about these sorts of things. There is also the potential added bonus of this tale being narrated by a Dickens family member which gives it a sense of authenticity. Priced as it is, this is a good narration. ![]() ![]() This popular Classics audio book is now available for free download.
