[@moldovancrisis5482]

I find it really fascinating the way the narrator does 'dan-tay' pronunciation in the French way, while speaking as Mercedes does 'dan-tez', in Spanish accent. It's cool to see the detail in the voicework; really great throughout.

[@wms72]

The Catalans are speaking with an Italian accent.

[@charleshowie2074]

I find the accents needless and distracting. Yes, it is a French book set largely in France but I don't see what is added to it by deploying accents like that. They characters are speaking their native language, why would they have a weird accent? Even stranger when they do say actual French words such as 'Palace de justice'. You may feel other audiobooks are better made, but that doesn't make it pointing out that they are using an Italian accent for an Iberian one an act of pedantry.

[@groovygraves2409]

@@MrHarrystank T-cunt me old chum, you're in the wrong. Clarke's pathetic attempts at accents throw the listener off completely. He's effectively mocking the characters. Can't imagine the more pathetic attempt at reading this novel than this. I'd take any monotone zombie recording any day.

[@groovygraves2409]

@@charleshowie2074 My thoughts exactly. It's so needless and apparent it becomes mocking. I hate when they do that in whether it's in recorded books or in films. Imagine this Clarke bloke butchering a Shakespeare play, I would dread to hear his attempt at Hamlet's Danish accent!

The voicework was indeed great. Maybe not perfect, but far better than most audiobooks i've heard (professional or not).

[@joeboonmusic4004]

That's a pretty naive thing to say... So anything that isn't solid, cold, hard truth isn't possible to be learnt from? First of all you're not exactly exhibiting vast knowledge on the subject by comparing Dumas to King... Second of all, has mankind showing it's ugly face for others to see in books like 'To kill a mockingbird' not affected western cultural fabric? Have great novels not taught us how to deal with depression, taught us to question general consensus etc... I think great writers have been esteemed through the ages for a reason. If they just wrote a story that can't be learnt from, because it's not 'a science book', they would have no place in history. As it happens they have a huge place in history. @hop Scotch

It's funny how people will stand on the rights of an artist to express himself freely when the art is something they approve of yet, not only criticize the artist but speak as if he had no right to free expression when they disapprove of his art.
