Reviews for "Transport yourself to colonial Connecticut with The Witch of Blackbird Pond audio book"
1. Mary Johnson - 1/5 - I found "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" audio to be incredibly boring. The story dragged on and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The narrator's voice was very monotonous and made it even harder to stay engaged. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this audio version and would not recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and captivating story.
2. John Smith - 2/5 - "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" audio was not what I expected. The pacing of the story was too slow for my liking, and it felt like nothing significant was happening for most of the book. Additionally, the narrator's voices for different characters were not distinct enough, making it confusing to follow along with conversations. While I appreciate the historical context of the book, I feel like it could have been executed better in this audio version.
