Great and passionate reading of a great New Hampshire work, and heartfelt thanks from a 58 year old Hong Kong farmer

[@ScarletDusk99]

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

[@ThingsFromCarlos]

This was a great reading of a great story. I definitely felt the excitement in the written words and in your voice. Well done!

[@wbcstudio]

Perfect timing for an excellent story

[@davidtauler2705]

Thank you so much for this audiobook reading, Nicholas. I was initially disappointed that I couldn’t find this book on Audible but that turned out to be a good thing because it gave me a reason to discover your channel.

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Thanks David. I like to think my work has improved since I recorded this in college, so I hope you can find some other videos of mine that are enjoyable for you. Thanks for the kind comment

[@inhisnameislay3401]

A truly fantastic piece of Americana. And a lively read by yourself sir. Thank you

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Kind of you to say!

[@williamevans8377]

Well Read. Thank you very much

[@Sunspot1225.]

Needs to be read by Congress of the United States of America.

[@rjfpac]

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,

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Thank you for the nice words. I appreciate your opinions and I agree with you. If I ever re-do this piece I will heed your advice. I am glad this video could invoke memories and bring you some joy

[@jimmymaciii]

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

[@KraussAudioBooks]

jimmymaciii thank you!

[@smitrich6497]

Thanks that would definitely ruin the story -_-

[@rupertmurphy3068]

[@miavonlehman3803]

you have a good reading voice

[@Bob_Snerds]

You Are A Good Reader!!!

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Youre too kind. Try my newer work- its far better than this!

[@Bob_Snerds]

@@KraussAudioBooks Ok but like how can you top this lol you are a good reader 😊 I check it out

[@kevinh5349]

Ranks up there with The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

[@blue1054]

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

[@WordTrix1]

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.

[@joeomalley2835]

I love your narrative voice here. I was so so about the actual story. Too corny and silly at points and the ending glossed over in superficial fashion.

[@movingpicutres99]

I really enjoyed your reading. It would be helpful if someone corrected your occasional mispronunciations before posting. Thank you for this engaging rendition!

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Hey thank you. Completely understood. I should have taken the time to edit it. My production quality has improved over the years

[@user-sx7wo1yl7y]

I turned this off when the narrator mispronounced "ben-ay." as "Bennet." How tacky

[@KraussAudioBooks]

I agree. I didnt bother to look up the pronunciation and I should have

[@Work-cc5fw]

Bro what’s up with the juicy low key fart right at the beginning??!!

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Sorry that was the ghost of General Custer

[@Work-cc5fw]

It was the ghost of general Custer 🤣 classic

[@esta1ful]

It’s Be-NET not Bennett. Sheesh 😡

[@esta1ful]

More like Bin-NAY would sound in english. Geez dint u even go to high school?

[@KraussAudioBooks]

@@esta1ful Im well aware >.

[@stephenbarone4053]

And yet your first reply is wrong. What do you have, a GED?

[@georgietwohands6945]

I hate the accent it should sound more sinister instead of theatrical js

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Record one and show me how its done!!

[@georgietwohands6945]

If I do I’ll make sure every character doesn’t sound as flamboyant as all of yours seem to be

[@KraussAudioBooks]

@@georgietwohands6945 your girl liked it tho

[@georgietwohands6945]

Don’t talk that way about your mother jerk she does everything for you!

[@trishbirchard1270]

I agree .He butchered it - you could tell he loves the story but the delivery is ALL WRONG !

[@TheSpearOfGod07]

Did you have to tell it like a corny camping tale. Woooooooohooooooo. Wack

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Agreed. This narrator should be tarred and feathered
