Critic reviews

"Snively does an excellent job conveying emotions in scenes of conflict...This is an excellent treatment of a modern classic." ( AudioFile)

I really enjoyed this reading of 'A Separate Peace'. The book itself pulls you in gently, quietly and leaves you with a real sense of pathos. This recording conveys that mood successfully and helps establish the major characters well.

An American classic done well
