About this listen

A great Ruskin book that is better listened to than read because of the complexity and detail of his writing. Hence he is much discussed but rarely read.

Profile Image for A Customer

Unfortunately very poorly read full of stumbles and trips

I don’t like to say negative things. The gentleman has a pleasant tone but he really struggles to read this.
It’s full of stumbles and trips
Miss spoken words
Pauses all over the place
Very incoherent.
Ruined entirely
Unlistenable.

Also. There is a music track running continually throughout.

On balance
Unfortunately I can’t take it in in this format.
I thank the gentleman for his efforts but I would not give it a passing grade.
Sorry

Wearysom

Ruskin's ponderous prose is made much more dull by the monotonous voice of the reader and a repetitive piano in the background. I gave up after an hour
