''Am not an animal am a human being'' Still remember that scene even after 30 years have passed from seeing the film.

No disagreement there, Johnny. It was a brilliant adaptation of Treves' narrative. E.E.F.

Such a beautiful soul. So glad he found a measure of peace. Sir Frederick showed a kindness of spirit not often seen then or now.

You not only possess incomparable narrative skills but acute humanity.

@@FrenchEdward06 Your narration Sir is as compassionate as the writer! Arigato!

Well done. A reminder that the only really horrible people are the ones with no compassion.

Thank you for this excellent reading. Such a sad story, but I am glad he made some sort of friendship in his final years. I have a lot of respect for Sir Frederick Treves for helping him.

Love, love LOVE this SO much. The story of the life of John Merrick has always touched me deeply, in such a way as I cannot do justice in words. But you my friend, can and should be given the accolades you deserve for your absolutely flawless and obviously heartfelt telling of the life and death of this beautiful soul. Thank you so very much for all you do. I never tire of these gems, as they stand alone as absolute perfection 💜

It's really sad that people were treated like objects back then. Great job with the reading.

Thank you for this, sir. So good. I love your work.

Beautiful Mr. French. Simply beautiful. Thank you.

I am very impressed by your sensitive and respectful reading of this story. Thank you.

What a beautiful and heart-felt reading. Thank you!

Your reading is as always... flawless👍👍👍👍👍🎬📙📖

beautiful reading - i think you reveal the feelings of the doctor who knew him. thus, your reading reveals also Merrick’s life and emotional quality. i’m so glad this doctor gave him a better life. thanks for deciding to read this. 🥀🌷 (i didn’t realize his body gave off an odor, too. hopefully, a bath would be a cure. that, in itself, is so upsetting. it really makes you want to believe in reincarnation. . . )

Perfect voice! Well read,and this story is one which always tears at the heart. Much appreciated. Thank you 😊

What a sad and great tale of the worst and best in all humans. Thanks for this Edward...!

A beatiful voice , a touching story .

Your narration of Sir Frederic Treves’ memoir of J. Merrick was excellent! Now that I have discovered your YT videos, I look forward to listening to your other readings. Continued success with your wonderful work~GG

Brilliant. So well read.

It's a brilliant little story. Nothing sentimental or maudlin about it because it's told clinically. Whether it's fiction or not scarcely matters. It's a lesson in morality. Thanks for listening. E.E.F.

Loved it. Shame your brilliant reading of "who goes there" seems to have disappeared from the interweb! Shame, that was THE audio version if that novella.

@@FrenchEdward06 that's a real shame because it was by far the best telling of a gripping story. Very weird behavior by the author's estate because your production of the novella as a reading/audiobook experience could only have brought the work into further dissemination, I know of a number who enjoyed it whilst it was up on KZread, so yeah, what a shame. But thanks for all your other work hopefully they might relent..... I can only guess they think 💬 you're diverting a possible bit of revenue but in the end they are cutting of their noses to spite their faces imo

Well that was gross
