The Mysterious Island

Brock

An excellent book and well read by Mark Smith.

Kris

Mark Smith is such a fantastic reader. The book itself has a very engaging story but once or twice got a bit too technical. Theres a whole chapter describing chemical reactions. Other than that I highly recommend. Thank you

Shaun

Mark Smith is a LibriVox rockstar. This is an all-around amazing story from beginning to end. Jules Verne outdid himself with this timeless treasure.

Adam

I would have killed myself if I did not have this fantastic website to keep me company

John

The book was really good. but the sound was bad unto the fourth chapter.

Julie

Mark Smith is one of my favorite narrators and does an outstanding job as always. This would be a great book to have if you ever were lost on a deserted island! So much knowledge is shared and I learned a lot. I highly recommend this book.

Interesting story and a wonderful reader.

Toby

Try to get through the first 4 chapters of terrible sound quality...

John Lott

Totally awesome all the thought the story

Steve

Classic story, completely ruined by John T Koos who's emphasis on the wrong words, pausing that makes you think the reading is being read by Captain James T Kirk and impressions of an English man, Irish man and Scots man should be left in jokes makes some of the chapters almost impossible to follow along to! A big thank you to all those other readers for their time and excellent work.

Nirmal

As good as, if not better than, Robinson Crusoe

Matthew

Slow start, but overall great story that I will remember forever and well read!

Scott

Great book nearly ruined by the reading of John T Kooz who seems to delight in not only placing strange emphasis on words, but talking in ridiculous voices that mock the characters.

Pretty poor quality recording before chapter 4.

SVS

Please tell this reader to avoid placing strange emphasis on words. He also randomly switches accents and seems to put so much effort in this that he runs out of air.

Amy

The guy who reads chapters 12-18 has a really annoying voice and switches accents very distractingly. He also put strange emphasis on words and seems like he's basically trying to annoy the listener as much as possible. Other than that, great audiobook!

Kris

The quality of the recording made me stop after 30mins. Need a better recording to make it enjoyable.

Marcos

Thank you Mark Smith, your reading is wonderful!!!

Rita

This book shaped my late childhood and I can surely say, my personality. I remember the long evenings as I read it for my younger brother, and now, almost 20 years later Mark read it to me with his beautiful, calm voice. I was again on Lincoln island. Thank you so much!

I started listening to it but it somehow bored me due to the fact that nothing exciting happens as the plot progresses. I forced myself to listen to it, for I am a Jules Verne fan, but I couldn't follow it further than the 16th chapter. Up until that part there are only reports of how these castaways struggled to survive in a deserted island. I don't know if the plot gets any better as the story unfolds itself but I couldn't continue listening to it. The reader was excellent,though.His voice was very easy to follow.
