I love everything by Charles Dickens but this rendition really lacked any magic to bring it to life. I really think these stoies; to stay true to their world, need an English accent to bring them to life - but that is just a personal preference possibly.

Performance lacking

No real expression given by the reader, his voice is monotonous and boring. This does not make compelling listening.

Very boringly read
