Good Story - Bland Teller

The story of Doctor Dolittle is amazing and I am always happy to "read" the book of a movie I have enjoyed. The reader of this version is flat and takes away from the exciting parts of the story.

Racial slurs

Apparently most modern publishings of this story have been edited to remove the racist language, and I’m disappointed that this audio recording that includes the racially offensive language is so readily available. Shame on you Audible.
