Oh, I say old chap, my vocal pronunciation has been vastly improved from such an elegant narrator, thank you my dear chap. May God place a flower upon your head. ☺️

I think that if you look at recent comments you will see that it is not me who is making intolerant comments. I'm also fascinated to know what makes you the lord of the manor. You seem to know everything about everybody as well! How did that come about ?
Got 2 minutes in and couldn't bear to listen to the narrator a second more. I will go back to reading this book myself. Sadly my work day is less of a pleasure.
One of the good things about this narrator is that I've come back to this story and realised I haven't listened to it half as many times as all the gaminara readings so bloody nice to have a relatively fresh Sharpe adventure to listen to tonight tomorrow, and I'll just have to live with the voice .
I was in fond of Gaminaras voice as well. Though, when I kept listening this narrators reading while trying to enjoy it without prejudice, I found it to be quite good.
I must say how simply delightful it is to discover that the lily-livered Sir Augustus Farthingdale has found suitable employment as a narrator. Pity the poor audience.
They all pale in comparison to William Gaminara. So, we all got spoiled listening to someone who is truly gifted. I am halfway through "HONOUR" your right having Fartingdale from "Enemy" take over is grueling to listen too. The change from a strong Mel Gibson type voice to a weak snotty gentry turkey neck voice is quite the adjustment. It leaves a person wondering how those decisions could have come about. I am still pleased that these books were made available on UA-cam.
Sam Sam , I'm still laughing 🤣. Thank you, i needed that...still laughing . P.S.15 minutes later...Sam Sam after reading your and others comments im still laughing in a good way. I REALLY needed a long laugh today . It helped so much. P.s. 3 days later....im rereading the comments and im laughing so hard again . When I read i don't know if I can go on it just hit me as so funny . I have tears i laughter so hard. Its good to laugh
I was thinking the same. His dialogue not as good as the other reader but he's good on everything else. Nice laconic delivery. It almost feels like he's in my living room having an occasional sip of wine as he reads
Narrator is mixed, unfortunately he's made sharpe sound like a northern oik and harper a little Irish leprechaun, he's pretty good thou with the upper class parts.
Can't believe all the snobbish comments I've been reading here,.are these people acquainted with the reader that they know he is a snob? Look at yourselves folks. I accept that this man has his moments. He has an accent. Presumably one he grew up with.. Personally I think there's a nice gallop to this reading. At least he can pronounce grimace!!
I thing you might find that Richard Features in Carry on up the Khyber the last book of the series .And they wanted a narrator more in keeping with the spirit of the genre
The narrator is an interesting example of 1960's plummyness. A bit of an AI Kenneth Williams, a dash of Leslie Phillips and just a touch of Terry Thomas. I imagine the contract signed in a gin soaked Surrey Golf Club with maybe a bit of old school tie backslapping going on... This of course could be wide of the mark. However, it's good to know that old fashioned louche, lounge lizards are still lurking about.
Another horrible narrator. A disgrace to have sharpes story told by a snobby nasal voice. His voice is better for all the officers that try to stand in sharpes way. Who ok'ed this guy for a narrator
Thanks for making these audiobooks available.
Thanks so much for sharing this book. It's rare to get a storey of this quality. I really enjoyed listening to the Sharp's books.
Oh, I say old chap, my vocal pronunciation has been vastly improved from such an elegant narrator, thank you my dear chap. May God place a flower upon your head. ☺️
Are we certain the narrator's name isnt Rupert Fairy? What a ridiculous, fruity, upper class accent.
What a ridiculous snobbish remark that is. Go read it for yourself , if you can.

Exactly the same for me!!! It’s torturous though 😂
I was in fond of Gaminaras voice as well. Though, when I kept listening this narrators reading while trying to enjoy it without prejudice, I found it to be quite good.
yep
Not my favorite reader, but not one to complain about a free audiobook without commercials...
@@gypsyedc9143 there is that and I'm appreciative but the other is so enjoyable.
Yes. I agree. It took a chapter or two to get a feel of this guy and then he finds his stride.
His Welsh accent sounds Pakistani 😂
I must say how simply delightful it is to discover that the lily-livered Sir Augustus Farthingdale has found suitable employment as a narrator. Pity the poor audience.
He’s better than the awful second one, so whatever. Grin and bear it. And Farthingdale would’ve sounded way more like a little effeminate simp.
Only one whose done French well. God what a whiner y’all are. A little pack of Farthingdales.
Says so in the Scriptures!
Buwahhaha

"As the Nun hammered the table with a thump that would have stirred the Coffined dead" 😊
Thanks for the upload.
I am Patrick Harper and I am a leprechaun!
Wellington sure got interesting soldiers now.
The Crappos are after me lucky charms so they are.
There's a version by William Gaminara, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT.
This is your mission @Carl D
Tell me if you do find it please!
Love David Cases reading of this book and The “Flashman”series
Just finished the first half but I'm not sure if I can go on.
I'm not sure if Hogan is Irish, Welsh or Pakistani.
All is forgiven Mr Gaminara
Terrible
Sam Sam , I'm still laughing 🤣. Thank you, i needed that...still laughing .

This comment cracks me up.
everytime he does Helene's accent, i hear Tim McInery's Le Comte de Frou Frou
NO NO NO this voice just won't cut it no not at all
I listen at 1.25 speed so the voice is distorted anyway.
I actually like the narrator - very entertaining.
I was thinking the same. His dialogue not as good as the other reader but he's good on everything else. Nice laconic delivery. It almost feels like he's in my living room having an occasional sip of wine as he reads
I like him too! Vive la difference
He makes Sharpe sound like Kenneth Williams...
Wow, this one is narrated by Little Lord Fontleroy
The narrator makes Hogan sound like Black Beard. If he just said, “ARRRG!” as an expletive following a Hogan speech it would seal it.
So the rumours were true- Kenneth Williams and June Brown did indeed have a secret love child
Can we get we same narrator??
I never knew Alan Bennet voiced Sharpe in this version.
I liked all the other narrators, but this guy sounds like Quagmire from Family Guy, so I am buying this on Audible.
Good on you cheapskate. It's either that or hire your own minion to read it to you.
Has Gaminara gone on strike again?
who is the narrator?
This one cuts out a 20 minute or so prologue
Oh good grief...Patrick Harper has turned into a leprechaun. I’m laughing at this. Is this the Medic from Wild Geese?
Hahaha......that LeRoy voice is akin to a poor John Wayne imitation....it’s tough to take seriously
Why would this narrator get this gig? Is his name Simmerson?
Le Roy sounds like one of the spang brothers from diamonds are forever
I've read these comments every few days just so I can laugh again . It just hits me as so hilarious.
BM 3:17:00
I knew when I looked at the comments majority of them would be about the narrator I'm afraid I'm still on the fence with this one
He mentions Harpers Ulster accent while his interpretation of that accent is woeful.
Crack on son. The Irish accent is very difficult. Mainly because it’s shit.
Narrator is mixed, unfortunately he's made sharpe sound like a northern oik and harper a little Irish leprechaun, he's pretty good thou with the upper class parts.
He makes most of the people sound rather homosexual/camp. Can't complain about the price though.
The narrator sounds like Lynda Snell from the Archers to be honest.
As do several million others throughout the UK!

Perfect narrator......j

are you acquainted with all the poeple making 'snobbish' comments that you know they are snobs? :)
I bet you probably have a dumb accent too. There's no way you think this dude sounds cool.
@@KABModelsI can tell by their snobbish remarks.
Is it just me or is this readers voice ,,,, annoying ?
That being said my thanks to them for the effort.
Where did this narrator come from? The worst excesses of BBC Received Pronunciation of English. Almost unintelligible.
Narrator's fine to me, just saying!
As per the rest not a fan of the narration but do love a sharpe story. Who knew sharpe Wass born with a plum in his mouth.
Couldn't find a narrator a little more camp lol makes the book sound like a "carry on" film!..
Ooh behave, can't listen to this.
Totally agree - Kenneth Williams from the Carry On films… it’s excruciating 😖
I thing you might find that Richard
Features in Carry on up the Khyber the last book of the series .And they wanted a narrator more in keeping with the spirit of the genre
Sargent Harper sounds like a little girl. So funny...
Why did you use a female heavy smoker for this narration? I just can't get into this one
Thanks for the upload, but what a dreadful narrator...!
The narration is awful. Who is he?
Out of the 16 books iv listened to on Sharpe books this as to be the worst narration iv heard so far 🤨
The narrator is an interesting example of 1960's plummyness.
A bit of an AI Kenneth Williams, a dash of Leslie Phillips and just a touch of Terry Thomas.
I imagine the contract signed in a gin soaked Surrey Golf Club with maybe a bit of old school tie backslapping going on...
This of course could be wide of the mark. However, it's good to know that old fashioned louche, lounge lizards are still lurking about.
Another horrible narrator. A disgrace to have sharpes story told by a snobby nasal voice. His voice is better for all the officers that try to stand in sharpes way. Who ok'ed this guy for a narrator
Is this read by Kenneth Williams?😂
someone please find a better version. this narrator is unbearable lol.
Puta doesn't mean whore it means bitch... so it means the golden bitch... never noticed that before now
I thought Kenneth Williams was dead
Kenneth Williams narrating ooh general stop mucking about.
OMG!! This narrator is SO terrible!!!! 😝
Absolutely terrible narrator I’m not heard so many bad accents in anyone audiobook ever
Ugh this narrator 😞
Worst narration of the Sharpe books thus far
