Read by Celine Major

(4.5 stars; 24 reviews)

Rodolphe, who is really the Grand Duke of Gerolstein (a fictional kingdom of Germany) but is disguised as a Parisian worker. He can speak in argot, is extremely strong and a good fighter. However he shows great compassion for the lower classes, good judgment, and has a brilliant mind. He is at ease in all layers of society and so is able to understand their problems, and how the different social classes are linked. (Summary by Michele Eaton ) (9 hr 50 min)

Reviews

This story just gets better


(4 stars)

but the narrator is still like a robot.

FOUR CHAPTERS OF ACTION


(5 stars)

I can only presume that the author was paid by the word. The storyline is interesting enough, but one has to wade through far too much unnecessary verbiage to follow it. Unfortunately, these sidetracks seem to have increased with each volume. Celine Major saves the novel!
