Great some of the voice overs were a bit weird but a great book

I loved the book. This was my first time "reading" it. I feel like the author trails off into listing species a bit much. It's slightly over-whelming when you don't understand what he is saying, and it goes on for a long period of time. Other than that, this story was thrilling and exciting. I didn't know what to expect next and I couldn't wait to find out. The narrators were all pretty great. There were a few whose volume was really low. I had my car audio turned up to max and it was still hard to hear them. That is my only complaint though. They read clear, and most of them had good emotions throughout to really bring the book to life.

The different readers made it very interesting. Some of the readers were weird sounding, but most were wonderful. I have never seen the movie or heard the whole story before! I loved it! Just loved it! Thank you

Unfortunately I couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes because the narrator was terrible. The narration was so bad it was distracting me from the actual story. I have since found this book as an eBook (on another platform) and the story is so much fun! So yes I highly recommend the book, but not this narrated version here.

Love this book. Marlo Dianne is not my favorite reader. It feels like she varies between complete boredom and disinterest in what she’s reading and the cadence of a very young child telling a story with an emphasized phrase, pause, breath, emphasized phrase, pause, breath, emphasized phrase. Very distracting to me

I love this book but I just couldn't listen to this narrator. They have an extremely monotonous voice and it made it so dry to listen to.

The narrator, Chip, was good but the others not so much. Just cause they're reading for free doesn't me they have to sound robotic.

Amazing to think this book was written in the 19th century!

I thought the many narrators helped lend an "international" feel which complemented the story. Quite an interesting tale!

I liked the detail to the ocean species! Interesting. One narrator would be nice as it is hard to switch but book is still great and most narration excellent!

This narrator is horrible. I am definitely going to listen to the sample first moving forward, I just downloaded it before listening and erased it before the narrator had read 2 minutes of story.

Narrators inflection and reading style are very difficult to listen to. Could not get through the first five minutes let alone 16 and a half hours

I haven't read this before the movie. I was so impressed by the ending. I enjoyed this book.
