light story with touching themes

Revisado: 04-17-23

I enjoyed this story about a small hotel in 1953 London. Even though it was a light easy read it still had depth in the themes. I thought the narrator who voiced the Stella chapters was miscast. Her Stella voice was fine but every other voice needed work.

Voice Choice is questionable but Hardy is excellen

Revisado: 02-25-21

The narrator was fabulous but I cannot figure out why she chose the voice she did for Stephen, one of the main characters. it was very hard to listen to and it made me not like his character at all in a way I don't think the text intended. The book was classic Hardy and I loved it.

abridged version is still Great!

Revisado: 01-24-21

This is an abridged version of the been and having read bother I felt this was a solid abridgement,the full length book is great if you want diagrams and lots more examples. Wasn't thrilled with the reader but did appreciate the Q&A with the authors at the end. Would LOVE an updated 30 years later version.

A narrator worthy of this story! l

A Tale of Two Cities is one of the most beautiful stories and my second favorite Dickens (A Christmas Carol reigns supreme.) Simon Cowell gavean amazing performance of this tale of love sacrifice and forgiveness. A Tale of Two Cities. RIP Sydney Carlton 😭

Fiona Shaw was an excellent narrator.

The Millon the Floss is an amazing book I am a little too emotional to talk about it right now

Great book, great narrator. I was hooked and could not stop listening. I especially loved the Scottish Voice for Mr. Gibson's character.

Abridged copy is just as good if not better

Revisado: 07-29-19

I have read the unabridged version and I listened to this abridged version and I was very happy that I made that choice. I didn't feel that I missed anything with the abridged version and I definitely avoided wanting to reach back through time and strangle Victor Hugo's publisher for not insisting on edits. This book is a classic of Western literature and it is heartrendingly beautiful (even though Marius is an idiot) . THe the reader was enjoyable and did a good job even though almost all of his women sounded the same, usually there was only one woman in the scene so it worked out. There was a chapter that repeated itself and a couple of chapters where the audio quality went way down but otherwise I was very happy.

Excellent, serious, humorous and balanced.

Revisado: 05-21-19

as a budding Churchill scholar I thoroughly enjoyed this biography of Winston Churchill. Even though I recently read all of The Last Lion biography by William Manchester I still learned new information from this book, was constantly surprised, and enjoyed every minute. I particularly appreciated the fact that this biography addressed many of the current rumors and false characterizations of Winston Churchill that I see in the news today. Narration was excellent it was easy to tell when Churchill was being quoted, but it was never a caricature.
