A nice bedtime read
A gentle story. Each character is brought to life by one man's voice tricks. Enjoy.

Step into history...
This is wonderful!! I'll be honest I bought this purely based upon the fact that the audio version is read by the delectable Tom Hiddleston and boy does he make it entertaining! His wonderful and varied accents breathe such life into the characters.
The story itself is beautifully written, not knowing a great deal about the French revolution myself, Sally Gardner lets you almost taste history with her wonderful descriptions and colourful cast of characters.
I have such fondness for Yann and Sido and their respective path in and out of each other’s lives. Tetu is the kind of guardian you could almost wish for and both the marquis and dastardly Kalliovski are interesting and scary in different ways.
Perfection!!!

Enchanting
A well written and enchanting tale. I was drawn to the synopsis of this book but have to say it far exceeded my expectations. Listening on audible to the wonderful tones of Tom H and all the voices he gave the character really bought this book to life. I dreaded the book ending - it was almost like my wind down grown up fairy tale.
Plenty of lovable characters and pace to boot.

Great narration but book itself is a mess
I’ve read this book before but decided to listen again when I realised TH narrated it, a bit disappointing as all the chapters are mixed up and they stop and start in between each other! Like the order is all messed up!

Tom Hiddleston
Even though it’s only a shorter story, I enjoyed it immensely and it was only made better by Tom Hiddleston’s performance!

Thoroughly enjoyable
I found the names hard to keep up with at first (I don't speak French) but once I got into it found it enjoyable and moving

Enjoyable
I will admit that the reason I bought this book was to have Tom Hiddleston whispering in my ear. However, saying that I have listend to this version of the book twice as I actually got really into the characters and the story. There are times when you can tell this this is an abridged version as the story seems to 'jump' and the flow is lost. Characters are well thought out and from what I know about this location and period in history the author has done some good research to place the characters and story in the correct context. I have added the unabridged version of this book and book 2 to my wish list so I can find out what happens next, even if the velvet tones of Mr Hiddleston are not caressing my ears.

Intriguing
I got this primarily because I love Tom's reading style, I'll be totally honest there.
But the story has definitely drawn me in and looking forward to listening to the next book in this story line.
