Laurence Sterne
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (or, more briefly, Tristram Shandy) is a novel by Laurence Sterne. It was published in nine volumes, the first two appearing in 1759, and seven others following over the next 10 years. It was not always held in high esteem by other writers (Samuel Johnson responded that, "Nothing odd can last"), but its bawdy humour was popular with London society, and it has come to be seen as one of the greatest comic novels in English, as well as a forerunner for many modern narrative devices.

some readers better than others but overall painful to listen to

Inconsistent reading

Aside from what the author considers humorous in the 18th century, the reading quality varies greatly- from Hefyd who sounds like the hero come to life and Julie VW with her lovely Irish accent to Verra Unreal who was almost uncomprehensible.
Atrociously Poor Reading
The female reader's pronunciation and phrasing made the book almost impossible to listen to. I thought she was bad until I got to chapters 16 and 17. The reader of those chapters was atrocious. I could not understand a word they were saying. I was extremely disappointed and implore libravox to take down this version and re-record this book.
The female reader was terrible, I couldn't listen to her at all. She pronounced the words so badly I had to go and check the physical book in order to understand what she was trying to say. It's a shame such a great book has been ruined.
16 Chapter 24-25 needs to be recorded again

Very good readings - the french pronunciation, in particular - with the exception of the reader of 16 Chapter 24-25 who speaks too quickly and with a strong lisp. Please re-record.

I quit at Chapter 16-17. Maybe it is a kind of performance art to underscore the literary challenge of the text. It was too much for me and my simple mind.
