The story is performed by Gary Furlong who does an excellent job. There are quite a variety of accents in the story and he does them well, keeping the many characters discernible and identifiable. He is enjoyable to listen to and gives the story its appropriate mood."
Review of Parting the Red Sea by AudiobookReviewer.com
"Stunningly captivating story with fantastic narration"
The story was great. The plots and its twists kept you on the edge of your seat . The character development and back stories were well developed. The narrator stole the show and put it all together, the voices, the accents were all just amazingly executed. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for and unbiased review.
- Mary Karowski, Audible.com Customer.
"The best part of his performance overall is undoubtedly his interpretation of the two main characters. He gives Oliver an appropriate aristocratic drawl when called for, and is equally good at putting a suitable degree of gruffness into his portrayal of Jack. He conveys the warmth, humour and affection that permeates the dialogue between the two men incredibly well, and brings their relationship to life in such a way as to give the listener the sense that these are two well-matched people who understand and appreciate each other for who and what they are."
