wonderful book and reader
(5 Sterne)
This is my favorite reading of the book. Betsy does a fantastic job! Wish she had finished it. She has a very unique and lively reading voice that draws you in. The story is one of my favorites. I think I have listened to it a dozen times or more and never get tired of it. Good job!
Nice.

I really enjoyed listening to this book.... likely enjoyable for both genders and all ages, but I recommend it for female young adults. Lovely explanation of college life, and as I love surprise endings, this was fun to listen to. Overall, a fantastic book.

Such a delightful book. It is full of heartwarming and comical moments all while allowing you to see through the eyes of a blossoming orphan. I will read this again and again!

It was so heart-warming that after I finished the "fairytale", I had to go back and listen to part of it again, in case I had missed any details. It gave me a happy feeling. EVERY ONE OF THE READERS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB of expressing the whimsical enthusiasm of a young woman to whom everything is new.
GREAT!

Perhaps it’s wrong to seek refuge from our cultural suicide in novels from before the disastrous “War to End All Wars.” Many things have improved; Jean Webster and her family fought for racial equality, women’s rights, and other essential causes. But they also believed as few now do in the promise of America, a promise that was fulfilled for millions who embraced life’s challenges with the humor, hunger for knowledge and hard work of Judy. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful and Inspiring

What a charming book this is! I enjoyed every minute. The writing is beautiful and witty. All of the readers did a good job and many of their performances added to the whimsy of the story. Fans of the Anne of Green Gables series will enjoy this book. I highly recommend.

Simply Wonderful!!! N.Beamon . P.S. I actually now live in the exact house where Daddy Longlegs was written. Thus, you understand my motivation to read it. To hear the female readers as I read along made the experience vivid and visceral. Thank you. N.B.
