The works of Thomas Wolfe cemented his legacy as one of the very best of the American Southern writers. Wolfe's largely autobiographical novel features Eugene Gant, who pines for a more expansive life after being born to a father whose bouts of maniacal raving are fueled by a prodigious appetite for drink.©1957 Edward C.

I enjoyed the beauty in the words and there were some memorable characters. narration was great. story itself was very dull.

beautifully written, boring story

Wolfe’s descriptions of nature and the North Carolina countryside are eloquent. His vocabulary is brilliant. The novel can be tedious; it could have used more editing; a sad family saga

Classic and also dated. Captures a time and a subculture

A rambling tale of nonsense. I was prepared for the flowery style, but not for the boring story.

Disappointing for a “Genius “

Best way to read this book in my view. It's long but beautifully written. The poetry has been carefully considered. The voices of the characters is subtle and appropriate.

Excellently narritated.

Another reviewer wrote something like “great writing; boring story” and I agree. I get lost in the long long stream of gorgeously constructed syntax which seem to support no similarly powerful prose. I’m giving up. Usually, I will stick around when something is so beautifully written, but geez—for the life of me, it feels like all frosting with nothing of substance underneath. I love frosting. But even for me, there has to be some kind of well crafter cake to support all that frosting.

Not enough and too much

Being from the South I was looking forward to listening to a NC author. The story, however, was incredibly long with psychotic/neurotic family members and a self centered protagonist. There were interesting things to be learned about subjects the main character was studying. Somethings about Shakespeare I had never heard before. But there was so much fighting, angst and focus on sex that it was a bit of a slog. So not my favorite read. However the narrator was great.

A tedious coming of age story

I loved this. Narrator made it come to life! Characters true to life. Spell binding

A Celebration of the English Language

This is a wandering classic, and at times I felt like I was running a marathon, wondering if it will ever end, and If it does, what I would take with me as a reward in the end. I am no literary scholar, and I hate to jade anyone with my pedestrian perspective, so I’ll leave it at that. However, I want to say that this is by far the best narration I’ve heard on Audible. The distinct inflection and personality that the reader gave each of the seemingly endless characters was amazing, and really helped establish their identities and presence.
