Dumas's 'Celebrated Crimes' was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language--has minced no words--to describe the violent scenes of a violent time.
In some instances facts appear distorted out of their true perspective, and in others the author makes unwarranted charges. The careful, mature reader, for whom the books are intended, will recognize, and allow for, this fact. Summary from publishers note.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The nerve of this company scibd. The selections for audiobooks are more and more Livrivox and less of the good quality record labels read by distinguished actors and professional readers. Why am I paying a monthly membership for livrivox recordings? These are free in the public domain. And the quality is very bad, read by amateur volunteers. They change readers during the book, sometimes as often as every chapter, ruining the continuity of the storyteller. And there is a buzzing noise in the background.
A lot of these amateur volunteers are no fun to listen to. It ruins my interest in the book. I will be canceling my subscription.
