    Wonderful work. There were a few flubs, but the delivery was strong, and the story, of course, a true classic

    Nicely done. Chapter 5, being the climax, deserved more patience and soft emphasis. A bit more patience in reading, a pause of silence gives the audience pause to ponder and to anticipate. Thank you for making this available to us. It was read countless times by my father when I was so young I only remember the title and sitting upon his lap with my siblings, some on the arm of the chair, some on the floor,

    Great reading! Only one tiny problem... The author's name is Benét not Benet. In other words, Benay rather than Benett.

    Well done, but the narrator mispronounces the author’s name.

    • @WordTrix1
      @WordTrix1 2 роки тому

      That was something that irritated me as well. It’s not pronounced like “Bennett,” it’s pronounced like “Ben-nay.” The accent over the “e” is a clue to the correct pronunciation.
