“Thomas has done a sterling job. Love his work – it’s fabulous. Especially his transition between characters. The distinction is terrific. I was listening on the train platform, and when he read the opening section of My One Redeeming Affliction in the voice of Edwin Stroud, I was instantly transported back into the late 19th century which was an unexpected delight! Please accept and pass on my congratulations and heartfelt thanks for a brilliant job done. I can’t even begin to imagine the work involved in reading and recording that beast of a thing with all of those characters. BRAVO! It sounds SUPER!”
