Excellent reader!

This book is read by a wonderful reader who puts personality to all the characters. It is delightful to hear the British classics read in English rather than in American.

Best narrator ever!

Mil Nicholson makes every book come to life! I often forget that there is only one person reading, because she has such a talent for making each character unique!

Little Dorrit : narrator Ms Mil Nicholdon

I am listening to the version narrated by Ms Mil Nicholson. Miss Nicholson’s narration is extraordinary in its versatility, range of diverse accents of all ages and origins and in its absolute clarity. I am quite overwhelmed and would take this opportunity simply to say thank you ever so much for a Dickens experience immeasurably enhanced by her talents. Sadly, not all of the archive.org books’ narrators come close to her standard.

Good narrator

I prefer the second Librivox version to their first. This narrator's voice is very pleasant and the way she narrates the story (voices) is very nice. Apart from the audio book, Dickens's work is wonderful. Personally, I prefer it to his better know works.

Another Triumph: Thank You, Mil!

This was my 3rd Dickens novel read by Mil Nicholsen, and I cannot express how beautiful and vibrant a reader she is. Dickens himself could not wish for a more sensitive, engaged voice to read his novels! Little Dorrit is a beautiful work that explores sacrifice, love, and the devastation of money and secrets. Amy is a masterpiece of the traditional Victorian "Angel in the House," but she doesn't ever seem too saccharine. Her devotion rings true, whether that it to her tragic father or to Clennam. This book has the wonderful twists and turns that make Duckens so fun and a highly satisfying ending. I enjoyed every minute!

Plotty plot, stellar reading

Mil Nicholson does a wonderful job bringing Dickens's myriad cast alive in this long and winding but very interesting story. As so often with Dickens, it's a bit hard at times to keep track of who's who, but perseverance pays off! The reading is terrific, although I found Mr Dorrit's lines difficult to bear with and do maybe not agree with Ms Nicholson's choice of how to convey the ha's and other expletives interspersing with his speech - he sounds absolutely deranged at times! But then again, maybe he is. Apart from that, I enjoyed every minute.

10 out of 10!

Oh, this book is so wonderful. By far my favorite Charles Dickens. I love everything about it; the plot, the way the mother repents in the end, Little Dorrit's quiet personality, the way so many of the events correspond with Charles Dickens life! So many good books are completely spoiled by bad reading, but this is done perfectly. Professionally, I would say if I didn't know better. Mil Nicholson's ability to put such character into words is amazing. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a truly spectacular Dickens experience. Thank you, Mil!

Dickens read by Mil Nicholson—she is the perfect narrator for his work. Dickens was not perfect, but no one else could weave such a tale, or moralize with such broad hints. Ms Nicholson breathes purpose into each character, though I agree with a previous reviewer who noted that Mr Dorrit’s hesitating ha’s were hard to hear, but then that’s how they were written, and the poor deluded man.....
