Hello! I just have finished "The d'Artagnan Romances, Vol.1: The three musketeers" readed by John Van Stan. Who I would like to thank for that beautiful version of this classic!. Excellent job John!
I'm from Tandil, Argentina and I already have read The Three Musketeers in spanish and your version was perfect!
Now I will continue with Twenty Years After.. Thank you so much, for such an excellent job!
Dear Ms. Nicholson,
I can't fully express the pleasure I have gotten from your marvelously expressive reading of Charles Dickens . I have completed "Little Dorrit," am now in mid "Our Mutual Friend" and am looking forward to working my way thru more. Your reading succeeds in putting the me really inside the world Dickens depicts. I can "see" and almost breath the sooty air of 19th century London streets. My assumption is that you have had theatrical training since you make the characters and their varied voices come alive.
Having myself read many Dickens novels in the past and having lived in London, hearing them read so well makes the experience doubly sweet.
Note: When spending a year in London, ( Oh so many years ago) my wife and I lived on Doughty Street, in Bloomsbury, just a few doors down from Dickens one time home, now a museum.
Sincerely,
Robert

Thankyou,Mil Nicholson,for hours of hard work recording "Our Mutual Friend". It was beautifully read with excellent characterization.
You may be interested to know how I use the recordings...if I wake up in the night, I listen to half an hour to stop myself worrying about not sleeping.I use that time being entertained rather than frustrated.
Thanks again and please keep up the good work.

I wish to show my gratitude to Mark F.Smith, he is an amazing reader.Who reads books with intonation, remarkable clear pronunciation and makes it easy to comprehend and learn English. I am not a native speaker so such traits in a reader are extremely important to me. It's already come to the point when I wish to proceed to the next book I especially check if Mark has read it already.

Dear Mark,
I wanted to thank you for your reading of Sense and Sensibility. I enjoyed it thoroughly! It must be a lot of work and take a lot of thought and patience to get through such a book. You did a wonderful job!
I just wanted to send a thank you to Andy for the spectacular life he gave to the play. They turned a boring class assignment into something I absolutely fell in love with! Thank you.
I've probably listened to this audiobook a dozen times these past couple years. Sure the work itself is a fun read, but the narration really brings everything together in such a fantastic way; I can't help coming back to it. I've used Librivox occasionally before, but this reading is just a cut above with regard to how it pulls me into the story and gives life to text. Good stuff.
I would like to thank Winston Tharp for his reading of Bullet for Cinderella.
I felt like the character in the story was narrating it to me.
Very much appreciate your work.
Well done! I recently enjoyed listening to the Pioneers of Science by Oliver Lodge and particularly enjoyed the passage read by you. Your tones and expressive voice made it an engaging experience. I have downloaded a couple of other selections read by you as well.
I've just started listening to chapter 3 of Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini (located https://librivox.org/scaramouche-by-rafael-sabatini/ here)
I absolutely adore Mackenzie's style, verve, and passion for the material. He has an excellent pace for me, neither too slow nor too quick, and a kind of wry humor that suits the flavor of this book perfectly. I keep being excited to finish what I'm doing and get back to listening to another chapter thanks to his performances - he doesn't just read the text, he invigorates it with energy and makes it exciting. He's a delight.
Audio has been a *huge* comfort to me over the last two years, which have been stressful for everybody, and I would like to extend that gratitude to him specifically, for taking the time and effort to read for us all.
Thank you, Gord.
And thank you also to the Librivox moderators for passing along this message.
All the best,
Theo
Just writing to thank LibriVox reader Phil Chenevert for his reading of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Version 6).
Many thanks,
Kevin

hi, Phil Chenevert,
Thanks, dude!
I do enjoy listening.
You've alerted me to works from early sci-fi and other genres that clearly inform some of my current research and favorites. I didn't know that until searching for your name as a Librivox reader, listening—and then learning again and again what foundational-works the authors of decades later were drawing from as they created.
So, thanks for the education, the volunteerism, the way you select what you read, and the clear enjoyment you are getting as a reader (that's in your voice)!
Dear Mr Bloxam,
Thank you so much for your wonderful reading of Balzac’s “Catherine de Medici “
It was spirited, entertaining, rapid and accurate- what a huge pleasure!
Yours gratefully
Cathy
Thank you for your reading of The Suppliant Maidens by Aeschylus, it was very good!

I am so very much enjoying your reading of Dostoevsky's great novel. I teach it to high school seniors, and each time I assign it to a new crop of kids, I must read it too. This time, being so familiar with the book (have taught it ten times), I decided I could simply listen to it in the car. And that's exactly what I'm doing. Very effective.
I've Googled all over the place to try to find out some info about you – especially your age – since you sound so young on the recording, which makes for a good fit with crazy Raskolnikov and all his pals -- but I've found nothing.
If replying to your listeners is allowed, please write me back and fill me in.
Thank you.
