Ok not great

I lost interest and my mind would wonder if I was not really trying to pay attention

good sequel

I read the original Pollyanna many years ago, and was unaware that there was a sequel. This book begins a few months after the end of the first novel. The title character ages from 13 to about 19 or 20 in the course of the book, and it ends with her engagement. If you enjoyed the original story, it is a worthy sequel.

There are two versions of the book available on Audible. I recommend this one, narrated by Alan Munro. The narration of the other version is extremely poor.

Very confusing

I long to hear the book read by a woman. The reader Mr Munro has a fine voice, but it is absolute nonsense to have him read about an innocent young girl & experiences.
I thought several times during the listening how much more I would have enjoyed particular spots in the story, if I hadn't been so distracted by such a somber male tone.
It's funny, it never occurred to me just exactly how much of a different experience you can have based on the readers voice.

Wonderful continuation!

A wonderful continuation of the 1st book. Truly they are like 1 long book in 2 parts. A great listen.

Lovely story

Lovely story of Pollyanna and her family and friends. Enjoyed the second book but would have preferred the narrator from the first book. Would still recommend listening to this book.

Need Barbara Caruso

While I enjoyed this story there were parts that were hard to understand due to Mr. Munroe vocal range. Would you please get Mrs. Caruso to read this story as she did a superb reading of the first story.

the narrator killed the story

I really loved the story. Very well written, a wonderful continuation of the first book, but I hated the narrator

I have always loved Pollyanna

I am writing on my sons account. I loved the story I love Pollyanna and I loved the sound of Mr. Munno's voice. I sounds like a happy little Grandpa. But he reads so slow. I had to up the speed to 1.5x to make him read at a normal speed.

Terrible narrator

This narrator is so bad that I continued listening with clenched teeth only because I was courions to know how Mrs porter v
Continued Pollyannas’ tale.

disappointed

The only thing that could have made this book any worse was probably the man they chose to do the reading of the actual book. The book is a sad misrepresentation and pathetic repeat of the first novel then to top it all off to allow a man with a deep monotone voice to butcher the second novel is just a absolute tragedy.
