JUN/JUL 04 - AudioFile

This book of swashbuckling pirate adventures may be for children, but the narration has little to recommend it to them. Ralph Cosham's voice is indifferent to the adventures he is reading. There is no indication of when one story stops and another begins. Character differentiation is also confusing, leaving the listener thoroughly frustrated. J.F.M. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
