Hmm

I've studied this poem and love it, but I don't care for this interpretation. To me, the interpretation should be about the language, and not about unusual voices and effects.

Poetry

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This was a fun poem to listen to. Kept me amused.

Who was your favorite character and why?

There was only the Jaberwocky and he is so unique that you needed no other characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Since it was less than 2 minutes, it is a fun listen.

A beautiful, immersive performance to a vivid poem

I adore it. The narrator is expressive, and the sound effects and music were a delightful surprise. I only wish there was more; though perhaps for its price I cannot argue.

I can’t believe I used one credit for this…

On YouTube, they’re so many other alternative readings of that story. I’m really disappointed. I wasted one credit to buy this. The flow is quite broken and the intonation is quite artificial.
