Members Reviews: Not terrible, but nothing to write home about Featuring the cast of characters introduced in 'The Luck of the Bodkins' (also available here), 'Pearls, Girls...' sees Monty Bodkin still pursuing Gertrude Butterwick, self-made men still clashing with trust fund babies, and men's lives being run by battle-axe wives. There are a few good lines, and the narration is as usual very good, but overall there's nothing here that isn't done better in the Jeeves or Blandings series. Really enjoying Wodehouse! Luck of the Bodkins reeled me in with the opening description of Monty about to embark on speaking French and these are no disappointment. The performance fits brilliantly and really brings the story to life! Final outing for. Monty as funny as ever Our hapless hero continues to cause laughs as only a Wodehouse character can - just don't listen when driving - you get strange looks in traffic jams as you're wiping the tears of joy from your face https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Seven-Christmas-Tales-Audiobook/B01N67C6U5 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narrative consists of brief evocative snapshots of four groups of people as they pass by a flowerbed. Members Reviews: Profound Observations The art of Virginia Woolf gathers in this small yet profoundly moving observation of the cycle of life. A garden in July becomes a canvas upon which Woolf paints a new and haunting picture of her intricate perspective. Flowers seem more like immense stained glass windows from the vantage point of the snail making its way through a flower bed. Minute clips of towering passersby illustrate the human experience where so much is anything but what it appears to be on the surface. The flower bed magically transforms through the hypnotic prose becoming an endless landscape of challenge, yet more importantly a sacred cathedral wherein the vulnerable snail, a methaphor for the individual, carefully negotiates life inside the surrounding looming beauty. This story crys to be read out loud, and when it is, it shines and verifies the genius of its conception. Beautiful It's like being there. It's the past. It's the present. It's forever. I love this tiny book. I read it over and over. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Fifty-Weird-Tales-Audiobook/B00P9TZ4EY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Mr. Reginald Peacock's Day Author: Katherine Mansfield Narrator: Juliet Stevenson Format: Unabridged Length: 23 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: This is a story from the Bliss & Other Stories collection. One of Katherine Mansfield's finest short stories, Bliss introduces us to Bertha, who experiences a sense of rapture as she reflects on her life. On her walk home one day, she is overwhelmed by a sense of bliss and contentment. However, her joy later turns to disappointment as she discovers her husband is having an affair with her new friend Pearl. Katherine Mansfield became well-known for her focus on psychological conflicts and complex characters; and "Bliss" displays these qualities brilliantly, exploring themes of marriage, adultery and duplicity. This set also contains five other short stories by Katherine Mansfield: "Mr Reginald Peacock's Day", "Pictures", "The Little Governess", "Feuille D'Album", and "A Dill Pickle". Editorial Reviews: First published in a British literary magazine in 1917, the audiobook version of Katherine Mansfields captivating "Mr. Reginald Peacocks Day" presents the listener with the titular, strikingly immodest music teacher and the uneasy relationship he maintains with his wife, from whom he seeks the unadulterated praise regularly bestowed upon him by his pupils and colleagues. Narrator Juliet Stevensons evocative performance imbues a realism into Peacocks narcissistic tendencies and the sycophancy of his doting female students in this wry, cynical look at the mundaneness of married life. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Katherine Mansfield) Mon, 02 Dec 2013 04:06:47 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mr-Reginald-Peacocks-Day-Audiobook/B00G3HMOBW thebookvoice.com 00:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sadly Lacking in Substance I have an older book from 1973 though I am sure there are others much older. These stories are all about what's going on in the narrator's head. Nothing that actually happens is of any consequence. In fact, the narrators' thoughts are of no consequence either. Someone else reviewed the book, speaking of Mansfield's tragic life and how she kept writing. I would have loved to read stories of that tragic life, rather than a bunch of rich people sitting around, eating, drinking or smoking. Sorry, but this book os short stories did nothing for me. I even skipped through one section, just trying to get to the end. As they say "The truth is stranger than fiction." Mansfield's mistake was in not writing HER TRUTH. I love the book Katherine Mansfield is to me the real struggeling artist. Lots of real raw courage and endurance. Leaving her homeland, having a baby without been married, which was difficult stuff at the time and then heartbreak when it died. A real creative force, who wrote her books even when everything else was falling apart. I would love to be like her. Rotten Print Quality This printing of Bliss and Other Stories is a completely worthless printing. The font size is about 3 pt. or less, literally,and all the stories are run together from one big printout. I love the writer Mansfield, but this printing is physically unusable, a real rip off and a huge disservice to a great writer. Buy her stories, but NOT in this physical presentation of them. Another excellent readine This CD excellent, maintaining the level of the other naxos readings. The stories themselves are overrated, alas; Katherine Mansfield no longer seems to be on a par with D.H. Lawrence, and the stories have eve even 'corny' surprise endings. But if you want to read them the diction is impeccable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mary-Shelleys-Frankenstein-Bram-Stokers-Dracula-H-G-Wells-The-Invisible-Man-Audiobook/B00CQAEXLO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Classics make for good, old-fashioned radio drama I have two things to say about Joseph Lanzara and his condensed versions of Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Invisible Man. First, thank goodness he wrote it, because I dont think I could have dragged myself through Frankenstein any other way. Second, thank goodness he had Brad Wills read it. Im going to expose my ignorance here, but I am mostly familiar with these stories through the many films and plays that have sprouted from them. I have read Bram Stokers Dracula, though it was a long time ago, but the other two are unfamiliar to me in written form. I applaud Lanzara for plucking out what I assume were the best parts in Frankenstein, though it seems he took great effort to preserve Miss Shelleys language. I wish he hadnt. Its flowery, pretentious and dated, and her use of first person turns all drama into exhaustive exposition. I applaud Miss Shelley for a phenomenal story, but the years have not been kind to her text. So I was thankful for Wills superb character voices. He did his best to lighten the weight of her words and for the most part, succeeded admirably, though I didnt envy him his task. I wish Frankenstein were the last story in the book, because in my very humble opinion, I found it the least interesting of the three. Dracula was like meeting up with an old friend, albeit a friend that had changed a bit from the original, as I recall. I wont spoil this for future listeners, but the twist Lanzara gave Jonathan Harkers character -- though its logical -- was disconcerting, because it was unexpected. Maybe he felt this particular change in the character arc was necessary to condense the book. Hes not the first to approach the story in this way, but if my memory is correct, the original takes a different route. Wills grabs this tale off the printed page and leaps with it onto the stage. If you like old radio dramas, youll love his rendition. I give him credit; Dracula has two strong women characters, and Wills conveys their femininity and strength beautifully, without rising into a falsetto or otherwise trying to do a realistic impression of a womans voice. And his Abraham van Helsing is completely endearing. I listened to Dracula (and the other stories) on a long, July road trip. All the time, I thought how nice it would be to have friends over on a chilly October night, light a fire, turn down the lights and play this story for them. I have to admit, after hours of death, destruction, and wolves howling on the moors (the latter from my own imagination), I was delighted to reach H.G. Wellss The Invisible Man. Of course, Wells and Stoker both wrote closer to our own times, so their language isnt the problem that Shelleys is. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Brazilian-Cat-Audiobook/B009PRI3SA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good for a quick listen Just shy of an hour, but truly a magnificent story, in true ACD fashion. Recording was pretty good, but a couple areas had noticeable transitions and one spot had overlapping recordings, so the narrator read the same line twice in a row. All the same, it was a good story. A worthwhile listen. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Clever plot. Interesting characters. Most unusual setting. Gripping from the beginning to the end.

Members Reviews: Lame What disappointed you about Bloodcurdling Ghost Stories? The e-book is lame!!! Both narrators and the stories. What was most disappointing about the authorss story? Not scary.... Even for children. The tone of the narrator does not sound like she expresses fear. How could the performance have been better? Have more emotion when reading. The accent is also irritating to listen too. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Bloodcurdling Ghost Stories? I would just have to redo the whole thing Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: Brilliant Narration Such a charming a amusing read with the most insightful and apt narration. Marvellous fun. all too short Beautifully read but unfortunately heavily abridged which knocks out much of the original's charm. We're never told, for instance that 'the sostenuto pedal proved a thing of nought' and all the other wonderful E F Benson expressions which make his novels such a joy. But I did liked Margolyles' 'Georgie' voice; deep, lazily drawling without the obvious campness that the charecter's usually laden with. shouldn't be abridged What did you like best about Mapp and Lucia? What did you like least? I love the Lucia stories, especially the verbal duels between her and Miss Mapp. It's such a shame that these have been abridged. Most of the humour has been cut out of the story and leaves it very flat. Would you ever listen to anything by E. F. Benson again? Only if it's unabridged. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Not bad but not good. Could you see Mapp and Lucia being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be? Has been done. Any additional comments? I'm so disappointed that the full length stories are no longer available on Audible. The abridged ones aren't worth buying. Mannered and funny, wonderfully read Would you listen to Mapp and Lucia again? Why? E.F Benson's books are favourites. I will definitely listen to this again. What was one of the most memorable moments of Mapp and Lucia? Shopping baskets on the Green; Susan's Royce and OBE; scheming by the two social lionesses of am English village, fighting for preeminence.. Have you listened to any of Miriam Margolyess other performances? How does this one compare? Miriam Margolyes is a joy. I will listen to anything she reads. Her reading of this and of Dickens and Thackeray are pitch perfect. She lets the humour come from the characters and situation, I have downloaded all the EF Benson Mapp and Lucia books ready by MM>. Any additional comments? Well worth a listen, and abridgement is fine. My only question is why abridge it at all? It is all worth listening to. Perfectamundo! It's impossible to not be drawn into the world of Mapp and Lucia, as well as the superb Georgie. The struggles for power, the subtle ploys and the overt manipulation. Politicians could take lessons from the ladies of Riseholme and Tilling. The stories are read with verve and a full appreciation of Benson's style. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Fairy-Tales-Audiobook/B0036I8Y6A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Book - Horrible Recording Writing is great. Narration is good. Recording is the worst I've ever heard. Crackles and hissing would be fine - I've never been picky about sound quality. This has very frequent skipping where many words are missing. It could be whole sentences missing - it's hard to tell. There are authors where this would be less destructive of the story, but a Wodehouse book is about the beauty of the language and phrasing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Money-for-Nothing-Audiobook/B002V19TMQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The difference between roberts and Roberts Coming out in 1928, between the first collection of Mulliner stories and Summer Lightning in the Wodehouse syllabus, Money for Nothing was written plumb spang in the middle of one of the masters high tides of comic genius. And it shows. We are offered free translations of what dogs are really saying when they bark, whine or snuffle. An extended lecture on roberts, and a man named Roberts who kept roberts. And our first look at Ronald Overbury Fish, who will soon figure largely in Summer Lightening (1930) and Heavy Weather (1933). This first edition of the Last of the Fishes is far more self-assured and intelligent than his later avatar, testimony to Wodehouses ability to never let what hed previously written get in the way of a good storyjust look at Lord Emsworth who, we are told in the first of the Blandings Castle novels, was born in the 1860s (Sunset at Blandings came out in 1977). Or Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, who manages to get married in two different books and yet pops up again and again in later stories, still single, broke and living in rented rooms or, more often, on his friend Corkies sofa. Though the classically convoluted plot of Money for Nothing involves criminal deeds and nefarious neer-do-wells, its all good, clean fun. And as usual Wodehouse also displays his uncanny ability to render an awkward, emotionally complex scene in all its complexityjust listen to John and Pats midnight boat ride on the moat. Wodehouse is never all about laughs, nor without some startling insights into human nature. And Jonathan Cecil's sensitive, perfectly modulated reading expresses it all perfectly. Appalling reading makes it unlistenable Would you try another book written by P.G. Wodehouse or narrated by Jonathan Cecil? Yes to the first. I have read a lot of wodehouse although most much more sparkling rhan this. No to the second What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Did not get through it all so cant say it had anything interesting Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Jonathan Cecil? Someone less bumbling and less profundo. I know he does other wodehouse but the characterisation was simply awful. The american accents simply irritating What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Bird-on-Its-Journey-Audiobook/B01N8YGT76 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Lord Arthur Saviles Crime and Other Stories is a collection of fascinating short stories that are subversive as well as entertaining.

Editorial Reviews: A well-narrated collection features five pieces of short fiction originally published in 1891. The anthology includes Wilde's best-known story, "The Canterville Ghost," a satiric and ultimately touching account of a brash American family frustrating a British ghost, and the enigmatic "Portrait of Mr. W. H.," in which research into the identity of the dedicatee of Shakespeare's sonnets leads to monomania and suicide. All the selections drip with irony, paradox, and iconoclasm while showing off the author's celebrated cleverness and wit. All three narrators well understand and communicate these qualities.

Members Reviews: some of these stories are timeless I really enjoyed most of the stories in this collection. If nothing else they give a window on the popular English perceptions about Americans of the time as well as some (again, for the time) biting satire on English middle-class mores and attitudes. I often re-listen to this collection when I need an antidote to the reverentional treatment that late Victorian England gets on PBS, especially Masterpiece Theatre -- which I enjoy, but come on, in reality the streets were full of horse dung and the upper-class treated the lower classes like they were not human. All in all, well worth the price. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Trio-of-Saki-Audiobook/B0036I900O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "The most incredible one-person audio you have heard. Has to be heard to be believed. David Ian Davies creates theatre in a book." (Charles Prepolec, one of the most respected Sherlockians) Members Reviews: Serviceable Holmes collection This review is of the whole Consummate Holmes Canon collection. I wanted the whole collection of stories in chronological order on audio and this is the only collection I found with a narrator I could stand. (I don't like Covell.) I'm not pleased that the volumes don't correspond to the published collections (e.g., Vol 3 has stories from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes), but at least the stories are in order. If you don't mind some recording-quality oddities, it's a serviceable narration. Davies does a good job with multiple character voices. There are some quirks to the recording. The rhythm of the narration is oddly choppy, often without sufficient natural pauses. (I think this version was produced from another version with sound effects - the last story of volume 9 has the sound effects. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Red-Room-Audiobook/B002VA92CO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And then another. And then... Members Reviews: Vivid imagery he Red Room: by H.G. Wells is a horror story about a scientific-minded man who plans to debunk the myth of a haunted room. He enters in the darkness of night, of course, and proceeds to apply the scientific method to what he sees. However, it does not go as planned. Wells is not only a pioneer of Science Fiction, but he is the master of imagery. "A montrous shadow of him crouched upon the wall," is the description of the old man who is present as he is given the instructions on how to find the room. "There is, to my mind, something inhuman in senility, something crouching and atavistic; the human qualities seem to drop from old people insensibly day by day," is his observation of the small group of elderly persons present at the outset of his adventure. Has he misjudged them? It seems so in the light of day. But there is more. "...the passage I was in, long and shadowy, with a film of moisture glistening on the wall, was a gaunt and cold as a thing that is dead and rigid." "...pushed open the unwilling baize-covered door and stood in the silent corridor." "...the moonlight, coming in by the great window on the grand staircase, picked out everything in vivid black shadow or reticulated silvery illumination." "My candle was a little tongue of light in the vastness of the chamber; its rays failed to pierce to the opposite end of the room, and left an ocean of dull red mystery and suggestion, sentinel shadows and watching darknesses beyond its island of light. And the stillness of desolation brooded over it all." "I stood watching the minute hand of my watch creep towards midnight." The imagery Wells evokes is startlingly clear and vivid. You can feel the man's fear as it progresses. "The Red Room" is a short gothic horror story written in 1894, and has to be the progenitor of all horror stories to follow. It's creepy, most especially because it's told in a detailed and believable style. Wells puts you in the room itself, with its creeping darkness. "The Red Room" is a wonderful horror story, exquisitely told, and I award it 5 out of 5 stars. Dark, Deafening Silence. A self-temper trying nameless young man intends to spend the night in `the great Red Room of Lorraine Castle'. He has apparently picked an ominous night, as the haggard looking bar-keeps are suggesting. Taking his 17 candles and proceeding to the Rooms door, where the fellow before our antagonist had died, he takes his chances and enters to hunker down. In un-sequenced bursts his candles die out until he's left in the worst environment ever: darkness, quiet, deafeningly silent darkness which makes the `Fear' palpable. Simply the worst type of thing to haunt a house. But was his unconscious already leaning toward fear because of the legend surrounding the room? An expose of the condition we enter when we're overcome by superstition and lore. Note the fore-shadowing and vivid depictions given of the bar-keep and patrons in their `senility' at the beginning and observe his perception of them at the end. A Wells horror short that's fairly enjoyable. A truly frightening & masterfully written ghost story by H.G. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/One-Voice-Chronological-Audiobook/B002V0PX3Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Charles Prepolec, one of the most respected Sherlockians) Members Reviews: A remarkable achievement In recording all of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tales of Sherlock Holmes, David Ian Davies has achieved something truly remarkable. To portray a single character is challenge enough. The versatile Mr Davies portrays dozens (perhaps hundreds - I haven't counted them) and makes every one distinct. At times it really is hard to believe that we're listening to just One Voice. These are more than just readings: they are fully developed performances. If you enjoy these grand tales from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", well, One Voice has plenty more!

Unfortunately this seems to be a digital dub from a consumer grade cassette recording.

Members Reviews: A hilarious book beautifully read One of Waugh's most biting satires inspired by meeting Emperor Haile Selassie at Oxford. The reader's plummy rendition of Basil Seal is wonderful. Waugh ridicules the self-serving deluded Brits and French as much as the savage Azanians. I especially enjoyed Emperor Seth's family planning campaign which misfires badly. Excellent narration of a master author There is much more relevance in the writings of mr Waugh than you could guess, 85 years on. The political incorrectness may offend some, and yet such is the subtle humour, extraordinary characters that only he can capture, and brilliant satire that those people may find it hard to place the blame. A great narration of what cannot be an easy book to voice. A spirited rendition Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Not particularly. 'Of it's time,' the story seemed a little dated (how could it not be!) but Michael Maloney gave a spirited performance, sounding reasonably convincing on the many & varied accents, though sounding less assured on the Azanian ones...somewhere in East Africa. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Thinking of character development, I would have liked a bit more of a hint as to the main protagonist's next step. Which character as performed by Michael Maloney was your favourite? Dame Mildred! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. Any additional comments? No. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Sherlock-Holmes-A-Strange-Affair-with-the-Woman-on-the-Tracks-Audiobook/B00MNSS1WQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It centered on a dinner theater given on (and off) a train, and involved diplomats as well as some Sherlock regulars. I was glad Mycroft was utilized as well as he is someone you love to hate and can be a shady character, but in the end usually has Sherlock's back. I found myself trying to unravel all the clues until the end. And then there was another cool, spooky twist at the very end!! This was a neat, short story which I listened to as an audiobook. The characters were spot-on as far as the Holmesian Canon goes. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a Sherlock Holmes fan. Short & sweet Only criticism is that some of the background sounds distract from the narration. Will listen to again.

The result was perfectly aligned with their request, but the cost related to the answer was more than they bargained for. A classic cautionary tale about the unintended consequences of always getting what you want and the new chain of events that follow. Narrated by Glenn Hascall. Members Reviews: It was a good story. I Love the message it sends. My favorite part of the story was when the man got the 200 pounds. . https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Body-Snatcher-Audiobook/B00G5EM33W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Three Short Stories with Varied Themes - Horror, Lunacy, and Love Robert Louis Stevenson is best known for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but he also created a remarkably varied collection of short stories. This Dover Thrift Edition, titled The Body Snatcher and Other Tales, offers three tales: The Body Snatcher (1881), The Merry Men (1884), and The Bottle Imp (1890). In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century grave robbers provided stolen corpses to medical schools for dissection in anatomy classes. On occasion grave robbers took short cuts, apprehending and murdering individuals on lonely backstreets in London, rather than making a somewhat arduous and risky journey to a rural cemetery. The Body Snatcher is one of Stevenson's most popular short stories, and has been published in many anthologies, especially collections of horror stories. The Merry Men are not inebriated revelers and party-goers, but a local name for fearsome, pounding breakers along the rocky cliffs of a Scottish isle named Aros. This isolated location is the setting for a tale of greed and lunacy. The Bottle Imp is a clever tale of a genie trapped within a round-bellied, narrow-necked, milky white glass bottle. The imprisoned imp satisfies all that the bottle owner desires - love, fame, fortune. But there is a catch: for if a man dies before he sells it, he must burn in hell forever. Despite this ghastly premise, Stevenson has woven an intriguing tale of love and adventure, and of good and evil. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Great-Werewolf-Classics-Audiobook/B00I8Y0AYQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Typical Jane Austen Back to the dark days of ' gentle' women having to 'catch' a man with money in order to have a home of her own, as they could not manage their own inheritance. Tale of 'socially inferior lady who marries quite outside her 'class', to the chagrin of her peers. I was no so impressed with Gasine Smith's narration. Her diction was excellent, but her tone rather uninteresting; she did not add any colour to the romance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/To-Be-Read-at-Dusk-Audiobook/B007QXR50C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Four Stars Did not expect the ending AT all. Must Read Absolutely phenomenal book. The writing is beautiful and intelligent. The characters are very vivid but complex and the points made in this story are spot on and completely relevant in our society today. It is one of my favorite books and will definitely be enjoyed by anyone with keen observation and a lack of agreement with society's idolization of mediocrity. I got a good deal out of the book I got a good deal out of the book, I just didn't like the hyper-emotional hand-wringing that dominates a lot of the story (which seems to exist only to support the characters' emotional states). Perhaps I'm too left-brained. My gf wanted me to read this and I'm already taking heat for my take on it. Still, I did read it, and as I say, it has some very good takeaways, but just a bit slow for me. Interesting views on relationships This is a classic! The philosphical underpinnings of this book make it a must read for anyone interested in the dynamics of human relationships. If you don't want to read the book, watch the movie. They are both worthwhile experiences. It's fun to read these classics when you are well seasoned ... I did not understand it until I subsequently read The Rainbow. Since I am not a student in an English class I am just reading what I ignored while pursuing a different course of study. It's fun to read these classics when you are well seasoned in the mysteries of life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Island-of-Doctor-Moreau-Audiobook/B0044UWPR8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I would remove the background noises/music. They are too loud and not done well. I returned the book to get a different narration Great story that should be listened to by all I've never read this story before and I've always heard a lot about it. Here we meet a doctor with the best intentions for all those around him. However, we see that best intentions don't justify the actions. Here we meet a man who ends up by no choice of his own on the 'Island of Dr. Moreau'. We see his journey of seeing something and not understanding it. Like many people he see's something small and thinks something completely different going on that what is. It doesn't make it right. We see his journey to come to an understanding of what he saw. We also see what happens when you do something for what you 'perceive' as the 'right thing' shouldn't really be done. Good Book Would you listen to The Island of Doctor Moreau again? Why? Yes, I'd listen to this book again. I've heard about this book most of my life but never got around to reading it. It opened my eyes to what I've heard. What did you like best about this story? The narrator's voice was perfect for listening over long periods of time. What does Shane Sody bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings his reading style and flow. Ambient Sounds? Not for me... I am sure that Mr. Wells has written another interesting story, but the ambient sounds detract from the reading. I suppose I am particular, but they were noticeable enough that I stopped listening to the book... Be sure to listen to the sample before buying. Modern Writers need to learn something here I really like this book. Perhaps the best I've downloaded yet from Audible.com. The sound effects add a lot to the book. A great read (listen) at halloween time. Modern horror writers (are you reading this King, Koontz, Straub and others) and film makers need to learn how to write and film horror. They think horror should include bloody gross details and language that doesn't take much of an IQ to describe things. They need to learn from authors like H. G. Wells and film makers like Alfred Hitchcock on how to make horror scary. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Invisible-Man-Audiobook/B002V5ISYW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This man, a celebrated scientist, has rendered himself invisible, but he is unable to reverse the procedure. His newfound anonymity fills him with rage and a thirst for revenge. Vicki Morgan's performance is warm and trustworthy. With her charming British accent and her mellifluous voice, Morgan transports the audience to the small English village of Iping.The Invisible Man tells of the possibilities and dangers afforded by scientific advancement. Thrilling and nail-biting, this performance will keep the audience engaged. Members Reviews: Not the best Wells, but worth the effort Maybe not the greatest, but Wells is certainly one of the first and the greats in the Science Fiction pantheon. Like Plato's Ring of Gyges and other morality tales of special powers corrupting, 'The Invisible Man,' is far more than just a story of invisibility. It is a story of the limits of morality and humanity. We are defined by our limits and the interdependence created by those boundaries. Another book I'm amazed I didn't read years ago. Not the best Wells I've read, but worth the effort. Vicki Morgan was an interesting pick for a narrator. At first her narration was a tad distracting, but I soon got used to it. Eventually, she did her job and disappeared into the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Little-Princess-Audiobook/B002V5BTDY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(P)1994 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp. Members Reviews: A great classic, classically read Would you listen to A Little Princess again? Why? Yes and I do, regularly. At least once a month or two. It is one of my favorite audio books. What other book might you compare A Little Princess to and why? The Wee Free Men: Discworld Childrens, Book 2, by Terry Pratchett. Though Wee Free Men is comedic in style, there are elements of the two characters that very much remind me of each other. I find Tiffany Aiking to be a sometimes arrogant, but otherwise thoroughly charming character. Sara Crue is thoroughly charming almost all the times and those few times when her veneer cracks she becomes even more endearing. Which character as performed by Wanda McCaddon was your favorite? Sarah, "The Little Princess." Who was the most memorable character of A Little Princess and why? Miss Menchant, she was so dire and austere. Having recently re-watched a sociology-anthropological study of Edwardian England, about Manor House life, one sees and is able to physically compare what Sarah and her close friend Becky live through on a daily basis. This book's telling of the era's social hierarchy was beyond accurate to the point of being visceral and real. Any additional comments? I have only one complaint and it's not with the book. I feel that Audible did this recording a disservice by laying the file as a single six hour piece. If not for my kindles ability to set timed sleep and bookmarks I could not go to any particular chapter. Frankly it is well below Audibles regular upload quality. How difficult is it to place some chapter markers in an audio file for crimony sake? Additional: Please note, I've only ever heard this book in audio form. I'm guessing on the spellings of names, having never read the text. Wonderful book I love listening to Wanda McCaddon! The recording leaves much to be desired, but I listened to this book growing up and it is very nostalgic for me and I love it! fun story - not easy to listen to We all remember the Shirley Temple movie, and I don't think I'm spoiling anything to say that the ending in the book is different. That said, I did enjoy the story, but found it difficult listening. I normally have no problem w British accents, but I think this recording is not the best. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/At-the-Farmhouse-Audiobook/B01M0YDVT4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This selection is from The Body Snatchers and Other Stories collection. Members Reviews: Three Short Stories with Varied Themes - Horror, Lunacy, and Love Robert Louis Stevenson is best known for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but he also created a remarkably varied collection of short stories. This Dover Thrift Edition, titled The Body Snatcher and Other Tales, offers three tales: The Body Snatcher (1881), The Merry Men (1884), and The Bottle Imp (1890). In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century grave robbers provided stolen corpses to medical schools for dissection in anatomy classes. On occasion grave robbers took short cuts, apprehending and murdering individuals on lonely backstreets in London, rather than making a somewhat arduous and risky journey to a rural cemetery. The Body Snatcher is one of Stevenson's most popular short stories, and has been published in many anthologies, especially collections of horror stories. The Merry Men are not inebriated revelers and party-goers, but a local name for fearsome, pounding breakers along the rocky cliffs of a Scottish isle named Aros. This isolated location is the setting for a tale of greed and lunacy. The Bottle Imp is a clever tale of a genie trapped within a round-bellied, narrow-necked, milky white glass bottle. The imprisoned imp satisfies all that the bottle owner desires - love, fame, fortune. But there is a catch: for if a man dies before he sells it, he must burn in hell forever. Despite this ghastly premise, Stevenson has woven an intriguing tale of love and adventure, and of good and evil. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Feuille-dAlbum-Audiobook/B00G3IWF4W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Feuille d'Album Author: Katherine Mansfield Narrator: Juliet Stevenson Format: Unabridged Length: 15 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: This is a story from the Bliss & Other Stories collection. One of Katherine Mansfield's finest short stories, Bliss introduces us to Bertha, who experiences a sense of rapture as she reflects on her life. On her walk home one day, she is overwhelmed by a sense of bliss and contentment. However, her joy later turns to disappointment as she discovers her husband is having an affair with her new friend Pearl. Katherine Mansfield became well-known for her focus on psychological conflicts and complex characters; and "Bliss" displays these qualities brilliantly, exploring themes of marriage, adultery and duplicity. This set also contains five other short stories by Katherine Mansfield: "Mr Reginald Peacock's Day", "Pictures", "The Little Governess", "Feuille D'Album", and "A Dill Pickle". Editorial Reviews: Katherine Mansfield's short story follows Ian French, a peculiar and idle young painter who seems to be almost painfully shy. Women attempt to woo him, to no avail; they consider him to be utterly hopeless. But his demure countenance belies his intense desire, as there is one woman he loves, though he has never spoken to her. He is determined to do so. Mansfield crafts an ambiguous structure that morphs from the women's perspective to French's. The clever narrative is performed with wit and sensitivity by Juliet Stevenson, who captures the women's harrumphing frustration and French's lovesick yearning with grace. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Katherine Mansfield) Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:27:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Feuille-dAlbum-Audiobook/B00G3IWF4W thebookvoice.com 00:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sadly Lacking in Substance I have an older book from 1973 though I am sure there are others much older. These stories are all about what's going on in the narrator's head. Nothing that actually happens is of any consequence. In fact, the narrators' thoughts are of no consequence either. Someone else reviewed the book, speaking of Mansfield's tragic life and how she kept writing. I would have loved to read stories of that tragic life, rather than a bunch of rich people sitting around, eating, drinking or smoking. Sorry, but this book os short stories did nothing for me. I even skipped through one section, just trying to get to the end. As they say "The truth is stranger than fiction." Mansfield's mistake was in not writing HER TRUTH. I love the book Katherine Mansfield is to me the real struggeling artist. Lots of real raw courage and endurance. Leaving her homeland, having a baby without been married, which was difficult stuff at the time and then heartbreak when it died. A real creative force, who wrote her books even when everything else was falling apart. I would love to be like her. Rotten Print Quality This printing of Bliss and Other Stories is a completely worthless printing. The font size is about 3 pt. or less, literally,and all the stories are run together from one big printout. I love the writer Mansfield, but this printing is physically unusable, a real rip off and a huge disservice to a great writer. Buy her stories, but NOT in this physical presentation of them. Another excellent readine This CD excellent, maintaining the level of the other naxos readings. The stories themselves are overrated, alas; Katherine Mansfield no longer seems to be on a par with D.H. Lawrence, and the stories have eve even 'corny' surprise endings. But if you want to read them the diction is impeccable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Haunted-House-Audiobook/B00FM1M7JY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Don't spend your money on this piece of irrelevant carp. It's just things about the author literally like 4 pages I'm not sure how I feel about this story The flow of the story reads almost like poetry, and sounds pretty, but I didn't feel like there was a lot of substance to the story. ... If the book's narrated by Cathy ... ... If the book's narrated by Cathy Dobson, don't bother wasting a credit on it. If you don't believe me, listen to the audio sample. The inflection in her narrative is so off-putting, it's impossible to listen to. There are a handful of books I would have purchased -- if only they were narrated by anyone other than her. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Enemy-Audiobook/B00TU87YGG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The bride carried no decaying roses, but her bridal dress was torn and burnt. Her bare legs, starved needle points, staggered disjointedly. The veil hung low over her face. I had my pistol, however I could not shoot. If it was a ghost, the bullet would surely pass through. If it was flesh, then I would be shooting dead a woman. Her hands, the fingernails long and cracked, lifted up the veil. Her face! Even in the darkness I could see its ruin. The eyes had been snatched from its sockets, the nose sunken in; all that was left was the mouth. Thin, melted lips parted to reveal brown chipped teeth. A Roger Rittner Production.

Members Reviews: Very intriguing and professionally done story What did you love best about Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Faceless Bride? The story is very intriguing and is done very professionally with sound effects and voices. Loved it! What was one of the most memorable moments of Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Faceless Bride? The most memorable moment was when Sherlock met the Faceless bride. Entertaining addition to your Sherlock library This was a enjoyable Sherlock Holmes story and had all the elements of a solid Arthur Conan Doyle story, namely interesting characters, a puzzle, Sherlock being difficult, Watson being decent, some danger, and a little bit of humor. It was definitely scary and creepy, and the ending did surprise me. This was a really good listen as an audio book and perfect for an October night. The actors did a great job, although early on the sound effects may have been a bit too loud along with the talking. At 30 minutes I thought it was a perfect length. A Full Cast Immersion Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? What a wonderful performance, complete with sound effects and voice characters for all roles. What was one of the most memorable moments of Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Faceless Bride? The interplay between Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson is pulled off to perfection. As a child, I used to listen to the Sherlock Holmes radio presentations. This audiobook reminded me so much of those recordings. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? This was one of the few full cast performances I have listened to, and it really made the story come to life. Who was the most memorable character of Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Faceless Bride and why? Dr. Watson. As usual, he is the perfect compliment to Sherlock Holmes. Any additional comments? I highly recommend this very entertaining audiobook. The story is well developed and the actors all do a masterful job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Sherlock-Holmes-The-Drakons-Collection-Audiobook/B00LA8S3PA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Story one: "Double Trouble in York" Upon hearing that I had to consciously resist the temptation that I had to peek through the drapes to see if I could catch a glimpse of that scoundrel. Holmes continued, "It is time, Watson." "Time for what?" "Time for you to be viciously murdered in cold-blood. Grab your hat and let us go downstairs." "Murdered?" "Come now, Watson, we mustn't keep your assassin waiting. I assure you everything will be fine." Story two: "The Perilous Jester" "Another body, Holmes!" shouted Watson over the roar of the mob. We were shoved around as a row of policemen attempted to stop the crowd from surging forward. "Go home!" yelled the police, swatting at people with their truncheons, though not to harm them. Story three: "The Castle Orphans" "How often does he visit you?" added Watson, producing his pipe from his pocket. He searched the same pocket for a match, then lit the device. "He visits every week, and every few nights. He likes to sneak in the window and take things back to his castle!" The small girl played with the little tiger upon her knee.

This review is from: SHERLOCK HOLMES: NOT SO MERRY IN GOOD OLâ SCOTLAND (The twelth mystery in this Sherlock Holmes series. Travel to Scotland and experience kidnapping and thievery. Book 1) (Kindle Edition) In Sherlock Holmes The Draken Collections, Pennie Mae Cartawick writes a captivating Sherlock Holmes adventures with Dr. Watson. The visual descriptions of detective work, constables, guns and murders created in these three stories read like movies appearing right before the eye. An atmosphere conjured with skillful language use, Ms Cartawick has been able to reproduce authentic Sherlock Holmes to the letter.quite beyond the reader's expectation. and we enjoy them anyway Sherlock Holmes, The Drakons Collection by Pennie Cartawick Reviewed by Liz Bearden October 17, 2014 The author, Ms. Cartawick is evidently a Renaissance woman, since she has successfully engaged in a number of vocations, included a number of books on various subjects. I was at first a little unhappy that these three stories were short ones, because typically, I prefer to read long and absorbing books that sometimes keep me awake at night. She has surprisingly mastered the lingo of Holmes, and the atmosphere of the times in her stories, and the plots seem to be all original in nature. I say that because so many mysteries are formula mysteries, and we enjoy them anyway. The only problem with these stories is their length, and the fact that due to the length, there is not time for the twists and turns and numerous clues that a longer book would allow. Anyone who enjoys short stories, would, I think, like her series, since they are easily read in one sitting. However, I would urge that you, Pennie,, indulge those of us who linger over our books, and work on some longer ones. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Harry-Esmonds-Boyhood-Audiobook/B00K58YZ62 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Mediocre stories and reading Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Only because I was in the car without reliable radio signal, and I paid for it so I was going to listen to it. Would you recommend Great Women Fiction Writers to your friends? Why or why not? No. Some of the stories were OK - and I probably read those 40 years ago. Some were pretty lame. I expected short stories, and the leading novella was way too long for the short trips I intended this book for. Would you listen to another book narrated by Cathy Dobson? No. It's mostly not her fault, but I took a dislike to her 10 minutes or so into the opening novella, which is when I realized the narrator/protagonist was a man as opposed to the Victorian prisspants her reading painted in my mind's eye. It's my own fault for not researching the book better before I bought it. That said, I really don't care for her smooth, plummy Britishness unless the story she's reading demands it. I've been listening to "Tune In," the Beatles bio, and the narrator is amazing - much more life and nuance to his reading. Did Great Women Fiction Writers inspire you to do anything? Research my purchases better in the future. Any additional comments? This was one of the first books I bought, and if the second one wasn't the Beatles "Tune In" bio, I would not have continued with Audible.

Members Reviews: Classic short stories - Ruined What would have made The Short Stories of Robert Louis Stevenson better? A totally different narrator. Unfortunately Cathy Dobson's style of narration completely spoilt this download. In fact I couldn't listen to it all as her voice and style irritated me beyond the chance of enjoyment. In fact I feel like asking for a refund to compensate me for my loss of enjoyment. Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobsons performances? NEVER Any additional comments? I cannot comment on characters as half way through the first story I gave up trying to listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Other-House-Audiobook/B004JK66KK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Editorial Reviews: With the exception of The Turn of the Screw, Henry James is better known for his beautiful, byzantine prose than he is for narratives that will keep a reader up all night, but The Other House is a pause-resister. Perhaps that is what inevitably happens when a plot revolves around a horrific murder committed in the heart of blue-blooded England. Graeme Malcolm, a Scottish television and Broadway actor known for his work on Boardwalk Empire, lends his lovely, mature accent and impeccable meter to James's ornate sentences.

Members Reviews: The oddest Henry James novel This novel is unlike anything else produced by Henry James and if you are at all interested, take care NOT to read a word about the novel anywhere, for almost every online account or mention (and every book back cover) gives away a tremendously important detail that should be held for the reading itself. The Other House is Henry James getting as close to Agatha Christie, eerily close (she was six when this book was published in 1896), as could be possible for him and it is indeed that kind of tale, with a far stranger and more disturbing ending than anything she ever wrote. Certainly this is not the first or even second James anyone should read, but some of the customary signs of fine consciousness are there -- which many people like and some people hate. The subtle interchange of hyper-subtle points in conversation (no real people could ever catch the hints offered so delicately by someone else sanding before them). has nothing to do with the Twitter generation. These people are a different species and full citizens of the James universe, even if they live on his oddest planet. This is a genuine page-turner and perhaps not that much more than a pot-boiler -- you decide. It gives nothing away to say that critical comparisons with Ibsen are probably silly, and yet this book does have a strange northern chill. As far as the narrator Graeme Malcolm. He does a fantastic job, as he always does. If at first his frequent pauses seem too frequent, you get used to them soon and then you understand that they do wonders to help the listener follow Henry James famously winding sentences and geometrically multiplied clauses. There is not an ounce of prissiness in Malcolm's readings ever, and it is great to have a Henry James read as he reads it. It would be a fine thing to hear him do The Golden Bowl or The Wings of the Dove, books that are fleshier, even earthier than many think. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Dracula-I-Audiobook/B004AXYYMI Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> Título: Drácula I Autor: Bram Stoker Narrador: Eva Ojanguren Formato: Unabridged Duración: 4 hrs and 59 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 11-08-10 Editor: NEAR, S.A.

I mean you can't do this to Audible listeners! Why on earth include the works if the rendition sound is close to mute! It would have been different with a film, because when you watch a video sequence the intensity/loudness increases even if the sound is poor because of the background noise, for instance. OK, in short, I'm disappointed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Saki-Selected-Stories-Audiobook/B003I61RG4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good for what it is and what it costs I bought this audiobook because it takes far too long for my credits to come in and because I bore easily without something new to listen to. Basically you get what's on the tin with this product. It's a short (27mins) story, written by one of the greatest female authors of all time. The recording is done as an ensemble between three different speakers, so it has the flavour of a dramatisation. It would have got five stars but sometimes the graininess of the recording quality really lets it down. In short, listen to the sample first to make sure your ears are okay with it (it's not all that bad) and then ask yourself whether this is something you want to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Judges-House-Audiobook/B002V019WU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Judge's House Author: Bram Stoker Narrator: Jack Benson Format: Unabridged Length: 47 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-07 Publisher: Jimcin Recordings Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: Abraham "Bram" Stoker was a Victorian Irish writer. He moved to London and became the business manager for Irving's Lyceum Theatre, a post he held for 27 years. He also wrote novels and short stories to supplement his income. Stoker is best remembered as the author of the hugely influential horror novel Dracula. However, he also penned a number of chilling horror and supernatural short stories. This tale contains elements of both and is one of his best. © and (P)1980 Jimcin Recordings Editorial Reviews: Pioneering master of horror Bram Stoker will have listeners rapt with anticipation in this uncanny account of student Malcom Malcomson, alone in a spooky rat-infested mansion. Actor Jack Benson delivers a performance that stands the test of time, beautifully capturing Stokers macabre cadence. Benson personifies the heedlessly self-assured young mathematician who - against the warnings of townsfolk - takes up residence in a long-abandoned mansion, formerly under the care of a cruel and maniacal judge with a sadistic affinity for the noose. As Malcomson develops a decidedly antagonistic relationship with one of the houses rat inhabitants, the young scholar comes to the realization that perhaps this mansion was never abandoned after all. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Bram Stoker) Mon, 18 Jun 2007 13:58:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Judges-House-Audiobook/B002V019WU thebookvoice.com 00:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good for the price It's a really good value purchase for the price of it. Pretty short but surprisingly intense chilling short story poorly delivered. it's a spooky tale indeed. the characters are developed sufficiently in the short length. the only failing is the terrible sound quality and poorly delivered narration. it's cheap because it's short. that's no excuse for poor quality. Ok The story was ok, more Poe than Stoker really but it was severely let down by the monotonous dreary voice of the narrator, no emotion shown when reading and seemed to read too fast to build the right amount of tension. Nice bedtime story Good gothic short story. I have only read Dracula before by Bram Stoker.

Members Reviews: Vivid imagery he Red Room: by H.G. Wells is a horror story about a scientific-minded man who plans to debunk the myth of a haunted room. He enters in the darkness of night, of course, and proceeds to apply the scientific method to what he sees. However, it does not go as planned. Wells is not only a pioneer of Science Fiction, but he is the master of imagery. "A montrous shadow of him crouched upon the wall," is the description of the old man who is present as he is given the instructions on how to find the room. "There is, to my mind, something inhuman in senility, something crouching and atavistic; the human qualities seem to drop from old people insensibly day by day," is his observation of the small group of elderly persons present at the outset of his adventure. Has he misjudged them? It seems so in the light of day. But there is more. "...the passage I was in, long and shadowy, with a film of moisture glistening on the wall, was a gaunt and cold as a thing that is dead and rigid." "...pushed open the unwilling baize-covered door and stood in the silent corridor." "...the moonlight, coming in by the great window on the grand staircase, picked out everything in vivid black shadow or reticulated silvery illumination." "My candle was a little tongue of light in the vastness of the chamber; its rays failed to pierce to the opposite end of the room, and left an ocean of dull red mystery and suggestion, sentinel shadows and watching darknesses beyond its island of light. And the stillness of desolation brooded over it all." "I stood watching the minute hand of my watch creep towards midnight." The imagery Wells evokes is startlingly clear and vivid. You can feel the man's fear as it progresses. "The Red Room" is a short gothic horror story written in 1894, and has to be the progenitor of all horror stories to follow. It's creepy, most especially because it's told in a detailed and believable style. Wells puts you in the room itself, with its creeping darkness. "The Red Room" is a wonderful horror story, exquisitely told, and I award it 5 out of 5 stars. Dark, Deafening Silence. A self-temper trying nameless young man intends to spend the night in `the great Red Room of Lorraine Castle'. He has apparently picked an ominous night, as the haggard looking bar-keeps are suggesting. Taking his 17 candles and proceeding to the Rooms door, where the fellow before our antagonist had died, he takes his chances and enters to hunker down. In un-sequenced bursts his candles die out until he's left in the worst environment ever: darkness, quiet, deafeningly silent darkness which makes the `Fear' palpable. Simply the worst type of thing to haunt a house. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Five-Short-Stories-by-D-H-Lawrence-Audiobook/B013RVY7HA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A terrifying collection of stories about haunted rooms, strange beds, terrifying dreams, and sleepless nights. Listen at bedtime if you dare! Members Reviews: Weird narration What was one of the most memorable moments of Stories for Uneasy Dreams? These are all good stories, just strange narration. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Cathy Dobson? Her voice was fine, but she read it in a weird way, like she was trying to be spooky. It was annoying to listen to. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? The narrator got very annoying. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Quality-Audiobook/B00K5T65P0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great novel I'm not much of a novel reader, especially of realistic fiction. But I wanted to read this one, just to see how HG Wells handled such a novel. I was also intrigued with the themes I'd read were involved. I immediately felt at home in the milieu of the novel. And though male myself, I completely identified with the young female protagonist, a college student in biology who leaves home to strike out on her own. In the process, she finds out about the ups and downs of "real life". The story is told almost exclusively from her point of view. Of course, the setting is now 100 years ago, but there was almost nothing in the novel that truly dated it. All the characters had motivations and acted in ways that seem completely contemporary today. I became completely enthralled with Ann Veronica's life and adventures, even staying up late to finish the book. She became a real person to me. In terms of this edition of the book, not only are there end notes explaining allusions and other points, but also there is a very useful glossary included which defines unusual words. Of course, there is also a helpful introduction by a contemporaty critic, as well as a preface Wells wrote to an edition of the book published in the 1920s. I can easily see this novel being adapted for Masterpiece Theatre. With enough publicity, I think it could become a top seller again today. It is definitely a story for the ages. "Why can't they be like we were perfect in every way?" "What's the matter with kids today?" Lyrics from "Bye Bye Birdie" Ann Veronica "Vee" asks the question "why can't a woman be like a man" and sets out to find out why. She discovers all sorts of men, some stuffy and some devious. She may one day stumble over the perfect man. She tries to be independent and is thwarted at every turn; that is until she realizes there are better things to do than just compete. We get to grow with Vee and go through several long dissertations, Ayn Rand style, over politics freedom, love, equality, and whatnot. All the talk loses its way and with dumb luck returns to the story. We are treated to a travelogue and scratch ourselves with a long talk about the prison dingies. Just as it, starts to get interest the story stops dead in the middle of a thought. The story is ok and some of the subjects brought up are still relevant today. However, if you look a little closer the story as with much fiction is just a venue to express H.G's concepts of free love. "Why can't they be like we were perfect in every way?"

(New York Times) Members Reviews: An absorbing picture of a marriage What made the experience of listening to Mrs Craddock the most enjoyable? What made this book enjoyable was the strong identification I felt with the main character, sharing in particular her claustrophobia and frustration in her marriage with her dreadful husband and his obdurate ignorance. It does of course reflect the mores of the time in terms of the power relationships between husbands and wives, but has a modern sensibility in relation to a woman's physical passions. In fact it is interesting to note that it some passages were censored for nearly 30 years. Who was your favorite character and why? Aunt Polly was in some ways my favourite character because of her acerbic wit, and perceptive insights into the actions and characters of others Have you listened to any of Beth Chalmerss other performances? How does this one compare? This is the only one I listened to Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me quite angry at times, sharing in Bertha's frustration, but this helped engagement in the book. Any additional comments? The book is not unflawed. I would have liked a little more insight into the husband's motivations, and the character of Aunt Polly could have been developed further, but overall and enjoyable read. Hard going! Maugham is writing here tediously long and repetitive passages of his version of the over-emotional and trite sentimentality of 'woman'. Completely without any depth, it has little or no story, poor character development, no humour and no justification except to illustrate that this author had a long way to go in his perception of character to achieve his later greatness. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Captains-Doll-Audiobook/B00945MM7Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A classic, though not for me Davina Porter, like Patrick Tull, could "read the phone book" and I would enjoy her wonderful range as a narrator. The story is a fine, complex analysis of the times and of war on both men and women. The wife's discussion with Hannale is an subtle play of jealousy and objectivity. Of course a tale by DH Lawrence is superb and deserves 5 stars. I'm only part way through and will return it, as the genre isn't really for me. However, those who appreciate the tale will become absorbed in the masterful reading by Porter. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Queer-Client-Audiobook/B007RFQFIM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A rewarding listen If you've not read any du Maurier short stories, what a treat this collection is! Fourteen stories, first published in 1980, are included: No Motive, Panic, The Supreme Artist, Adieu Sagesse, Fairytale, The Rendezvous, La Sainte-Vierge, Leading Lady, Escort, The Lover, The Closing Door, Indiscretion, Angels and Archangels, and Split Second. Each story is a brilliant gem, showing du Maurier to be a master of this difficult form of writing. She is able to fully illuminate character and provide an engaging story question with immediacy and interest. Some stories are heart-breaking, some darkly comic. At times the innocent suffer, at others the arrogant are brought down. Each one improves upon acquaintance, revealing more with each listen. As if that were not enough, Edward de Souza's narration is pitch-perfect. He has the range, sophistication, and emotion to portray each character accurately. If you love a well-turned phrase and a twist in your tales, give this collection a listen. You're sure to be rewarded time and again. Wrap it up Please! I'm a fan of Daphne's novels, but felt left hanging and frustrated with the vague and inconclusive endings of these short stories. Perhaps it's just a literary style that doesn't appeal to me since the ratings were high for this book. Sadness... Best collection short stories Where does The Rendezvous and Other Stories rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Without a doubt this is the best audiobook I have bought so far. What other book might you compare The Rendezvous and Other Stories to and why? Mabey the stories of the standard of Guy de Maupassant and some of the adult short stories of Roald Dahl. What does Edward De Souza bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Total relaxation and immersion in the stories (especially after a long days work) Who was the most memorable character of The Rendezvous and Other Stories and why? Mary Fallon in No motive, a devasting story that is clever,gripping and wonderfully descriptive and emotive. Any additional comments? I will listen to these stories again, many times, over the next few years. They are the epitome of what a good short story is all about. Brilliant Didn't realise what a master of the short story Daphne du Maurier was until I listened to these. Great stories, very varied, nicely read, and many feel very contemporary. Highly recommended. Absolutely loved it. Would you listen to The Rendezvous and Other Stories again? Why? Would definitely listen again to pick up the subtleties of the stories. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Rendezvous and Other Stories? The ending of most! Which scene did you most enjoy? I most enjoyed The Lover. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Neither laughed nor cried but was totally engrossed. Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: Narrator not up to the task Is it possible that there wasn???t a single male actor in the entire British Empire available to narrate this 20th Century British classic? It was a huge disappointment to listen to this recited by an American. I agree with Katherine. Entirely. There were no other British men in the entire world available to read this? Look elsewhere for this story, I am sure SOMEONE out there with an English accent has recorded it. Terrible Other books in the series cover these stories in this book. Jordan Gaither American accent is all wrong.

For those of you who have not read Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, and think you know the story of Frankenstein, you are wrong. This book is depressing but spectacular. Well written, eloquent, tension building and a page turner but not as much as a horror story as you may expect read this and I doubt you will be disappointed Frankenstein es una de las mejores obras literarias que he ... Frankenstein es una de las mejores obras literarias que he leído. El cuestionamiento sobre la relación entre creador y su criatura y la fatalidad de la ciencia se plantea de tal forma en la novela que invitan al lector a devorar la obra en poco tiempo. Además, la narración de Shelley es excepcional. Ningún aficionado a la lectura debe morir sin antes leer Frankenstein.

Title: The Chimes Subtitle: A Goblin Story of Some Bells That Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: In the 1840s Charles Dickens wrote five short stories with strong social and moral messages. "The Chimes: A Goblin Story of Some Bells that Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In" is the second of these stories, whose predecessor was the famous "A Christmas Carol". "The Chimes" focuses on Trotty, a poor elderly messenger who is filled with gloom over reports of crime and immorality in the newspapers. After losing faith in society, Trotty follows a call to the church bell tower, where he encounters goblins that teach him - and listeners - lessons in the form of visions about the mistreatment of the lower class in society. This story of social awakening inspires listeners to treat everyone with fair kindness. Critic Reviews: "Narrator Steven Crossley deftly transports listeners to 1844 for this second in Dickens's Christmas series....

There is a good reason that of the short stories that were written by Charles Dickens, Christmas Carol is the best known. This little tale is much less appealing, though it has some plot devices in common, namely old man has visions of a potential future. It's rather the literary equivalent of eating chaff. Dry and a little indigestible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Country-of-the-Blind-Audiobook/B01M1HH4JA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

'The Country of the Blind' is the strange story of a mountain guide who accidently falls off a cliff ledge in the Andes. He survives the fall unhurt, and finds himself in a remote valley where a tribe lives completely cut off from the rest of the world. A hereditary illness has meant that for 15 generations all the members of the tribe have been born blind. As a result, they now have a highly evolved sense of hearing, scent and touch. 'In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king,' thinks the mountaineer.

Members Reviews: For the Waugh mongers Evelyn Waugh's first wartime novel captures the moment when England realised she was at war again, but couldn't work out whether to be pleased or frightened. As a long-standing Waugh fan I had never found this in print, so to encounter it in audio form is almost miraculous. It functions as a kind of "What Katy did next" for assorted characters in Waugh's earlier satirical novels, principally the serpentine Basil Seal, voiced brilliantly by Michael Maloney as an upper-class cad and chancer treating the war as the wiping clean of his personal slate. Those coming to Waugh for the first time will inevitably miss some of the resonances and references, so a little pre-reading would not go astray - Decline and Fall and Black Mischief should cover it. There is a satisfying measure of redemption for most of the characters but you will need to go to Brideshead Revisited for the full working out of Waugh's religious worldview. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Ten-Tales-from-the-Artists-Studio-Audiobook/B00U225WW2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The author of this short story has remained true to the original literary Holmes and style of writing, while breathing fresh life into the character with new adventures. In this story the manic genius of Holmes and the complicated relationship between him and Watson seemed particularly at the fore. It also introduces Mrs Hudson and Inspector Lestrade. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Masterpieces-of-Mystery-Audiobook/B00MHXNU3C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Mysteries have changed in 100 years This book was originally published over a hundred years ago, and reading it demonstrates how much tastes and trends have changed in the last century. Although most of the stories did have a murder, there was little explicit description of the crime. The emphasis was on solving the puzzle. The writing style was very different from modern mysteries, also. Quite interesting to see how much has changed, yet how the crux of a good mystery was and is the solution to a puzzle. Interesting reading I enjoyed reading the short stories presented. Plot lines were strong and creative. But I was stunned at the caliber of editing in this publication. The checking of correct punctuation appeared to have been assigned to a third grader. Whoever was responsible for editing did not apply grammar rules to these stories. As a proofreader by profession, it was hard to overlook these errors but, overall, the stories were satisfying. Short Stories I enjoyed each novel in this collection. Each story moves along nicely. The plots are different and keep the readers interesting. Mixed Bag of Older Mysteries Mixed bag. The stories are definitely from a different time period with different beliefs, and they're sort of slow. Some of them also aren't exactly "mysteries" so much as "strange things that happened to the character". I think it would have been better if they had rearranged the order of the stories - the first few bored me so much I stopped reading the book for some time, but some of the later ones are quite good. Connie This writing style is one false ending after another. Just as we settle in to accept fact or guess the ending is another false ending. This story has left the door open for a sequel. This writing style is not for everyone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Sailors-Yarns-Audiobook/B00FBHRPA0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A poor mix of mundane tales What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I'm a bit biased, because I went into this expecting a bit more ghost stories, tales of phantom ships and drowned men that walk and eerie lights at the head of an unnatural storm. If I encountered just a few more good sea-fairing horror tales, it would have richly improved my experience. Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again? I enjoyed a couple of the offerings, so I'd go for something else by Marion Crawford, for example. Most of the tales were as enjoyable and memorable as a ration of hard tack without grog to wash it down. What aspect of Cathy Dobsons performance would you have changed? The performance wasn't markedly bad, so much as it lacked much to make it special. What character would you cut from Sailors' Yarns? It's hard to pin down individual characters, but the offerings from Ambrose Beirce were as underwhelming as ever, and good standbyes like Saki and Poe left me joyless. Any additional comments? The world needs more nautical horror. A collection of ghost ships and sea monsters pains the genre with its absence. Reader Ruined It It hurt to hear the reader destroy these ancient, wonderful stories.

I didn't even notice this was Sherlock the "V" or 4th until I read it and realized this was a descendant of Sherlock Holmes who lives in Miami on South Beach. It's quite a different re-imagination of the whole concept of Sherlock. I especially like the idea of the irascible unseen cook, Chef Hilario, who never leaves the kitchen at Fleming House. It would be fun to see a TV series like this. Current up to date Sherlock. I liked it very much, Will buy more just to revisit the crazy cast! A very will written novella A very will written novella with interesting well developed characters, a fast moving story line, and a successful conclusion. I would recommend this novella and series too anyone who is looking for a quick read. Enjoy reading Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes team up once again to find out who really murdered Charles McCarthy ... Dr. Watson was no longer living with his friend Sherlock Holmes on 221B Baker Street, but his interest in helping him solve another case was piqued when he received an interesting telegram. Apparently Holmes was looking into the Boscombe Valley tragedy and wanted to know if Watson was interested. It appeared to be one of those simple cut and dried cases with an obvious solution. James McCarthy had murdered his own father, was no doubt the culprit, and that was that. Guilty as charged, but Holmes smelled a rat and wanted to know if Watson would assist in the case. Mrs. Watson urged him to head to Ross and help Holmes crack the case. When the two men met up to go over the case Holmes, true to form, said "I will take nothing for granted until I've looked into things personally." James McCarthy had been seen heading to the Boscombe Pool, gun in hand, and was actually seen arguing with his father. Patricia Moran watched as the argument turned to blows and then fled the scene. A shot while later a bloodstained James ran for help shouting that his father was dead. When Charles McCarthy's body was examined at the scene it was discovered that his "head had been struck by a blunt weapon." Oddly enough, the gun James had been carrying was clean. When James went to trial he refused to disclose what the argument was about. He muttered something about a mysterious missing cloak and someone using a special Australian call to summon him in the same way his father had once done. "Cooee!" James kept rambling on in the courtroom and when he was asked about his father's last words he sounded positively insane. When James said, "No, he seemed delirious, mumbling something about a rat. But it made no sense at all to me," the case became even more mysterious. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Open-Window-Audiobook/B00B01OHV6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: reader uses little variety Would you try another book from P. G. Wodehouse and/or Flo Gibson? In Jeeves stories the reader must be willing to adopt very different voices for Jeeves and Wooster. Ms Gibson does not do this. Her style is to read uniformly and fast, with repeated tics and inflections largely unrelated to the plot. I heard her read one Henry James story in which her style was tolerable, because the characters' personalities were not dissimilar. But with Wodehouse, her manner does not work. I would not buy this audio again. I'd look for other readers for Wodehouse. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Short-Stories-of-Sir-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-Audiobook/B006YX18GC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great stories but hard for me to listen to I loved the stories in this audiobook- typical Arthur Conan Doyle. However, the see-sawing lilting narration completed distracted me from the story being read. The narrator read the stories as one might read a story to a child. I cringed the whole time but persevered simply because of my love of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing. Listen to a sample of the narration before buying this. She may sound lovely to you and if so, you will enjoy the audiobook. Exaggerated, strange reading, fabulous stories. Would you try another book from Arthur Conan Doyle and/or Cathy Dobson? The reader is, perhaps, hamming it up -- adding intonations and dramatic weird pauses. It gets in the way of the stories, which are of course great. What on Earth?? What disappointed you about The Short Stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? I got Twenty minutes in and could not stand another minute of the Narrators performance What will your next listen be? I've started Zodiac Station How did the narrator detract from the book? Her voice was up in tone then normal then up then normal and all in the wrong places. It drove me insane What character would you cut from The Short Stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? I would still like to hear the stories as I'm a huge fan, but not with this Narrator Any additional comments? I also have great Spy stories with this Narrator and it's just the same; urgh Good if you can bear the narration How did the narrator detract from the book? I loved the stories but the narration really intruded. Now I fully realise that some may find her style acceptable but personally I found her voice far too 'watch with mother' and her delayed terminal consonants very irritating. I would strongly suggest listening to a long sample before purchase. I am not sure if I can bear to finish listening to this audiobook! Annoying voice. If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? I don't think anyone would persevere with this reading Would you ever listen to anything by Arthur Conan Doyle again? Yes, definitely, but with a different reader Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobsons performances? No If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Short Stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? Cut nothing out Any additional comments? Very disappointed. I love Conan Doyle's work, and could not continue long listening because of the repetitive modulation pattern of the reader. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Saki-The-Man-on-the-Hill-The-Cobweb-The-Interlopers-and-The-Hounds-of-Fate-Audiobook/B005MJV7SS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Saki: 'The Man on the Hill', 'The Cobweb', 'The Interlopers', and 'The Hounds of Fate' Author: Saki Narrator: Patrick Barlow Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-11 Publisher: The Copyright Group Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: Saki was the pen-name of Hector Hugh Munro. One of the wittiest of all short-story writers, he was born in 1870 in Burma where his father, a Scots army officer, was stationed. He was one when the family returned to England to live in North Devon. When his mother died his father, returning to serve in India, put Hector and his brothers and sisters into the care of his own mother and two sisters. The childrens childhood with their aunts was miserable. The aunts hated each other, quarrelled fiercely, and bullied the children mentally. They saw little of other children, and Hectors main enjoyment was drawing. After some tuition with a governess he went to school in Exmouth, and later to Bedford Grammar School. In 1886 his father retired . A kindly man, he took the children to Normandy, to Dresden, to Prague , and to Davos, where they rode, climbed and played tennis, and Hector took lessons in pastel from a painter of birds of prey. As a young man, Hector went as a Police Official to Burma, but returned after two years, made ill by the climate. Recovering, he became a political correspondent for the Morning Post, living in the Balkans, in Warsaw, in Petersburg, and in Paris. He also began publishing the entertaining short stories that made him famous. In 1908 he settled in London, writing stories, playing bridge, and enjoying theatre and ballet. When the Great War broke out he enlisted in the ranks. On 14th November 1916, crouching with others in a shallow muddy shell-crater before an attack on Beaumont Hamel, he was heard to shout Put that bloody cigarette out A moment later he was shot through the head. This volume includes four of his best loved stories: "The Man on the Hill", "The Cobweb", "The Interlopers", and "The Hounds of Fate", read by Patrick Barlow. Patrick has appeared on stage nationwide in such productions as Loot and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and his many television appearances include The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole and Victoria Wood - As Seen on TV, but he is probably best known for creating the character of Desmond Oliver Dingle, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of The National Theatre of Brent, that amazing two-man company which has presented on stage and television such productions as Charge of The Light Brigade, Zulu, The Messiah, and The Greatest Story Ever Told. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Saki) Tue, 13 Sep 2011 00:00:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Saki-The-Man-on-the-Hill-The-Cobweb-The-Interlopers-and-The-Hounds-of-Fate-Audiobook/B005MJV7SS thebookvoice.com 01:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Opiniones de los miembros: Mejor que la película... Any additional comments? De este libro se inspiró la película "Apocalypse Now" de Francis Ford Coppola (sólo que esta última sitúa los acontecimientos en Vietnam); sin embargo, el libro me gustó mucho más, los personajes suenan más interesantes y es más ágil en la narración general (recordemos que la película es innecesariamente muy larga). Por otra parte, el narrador del audiolibro es excelente, aunque hubiera prefiero un español latino en lugar del castellano de España. Lo que sí llega a ser molesto en ocasiones es que toda la narración tiene música clásica de fondo y su volumen es algo alto, lo cual distrae y no es necesaria como parte de la narración. Cabe señalar que todos mis comentarios anteriores son aplicables tanto a la Parte I como a la Parte II que se venden por separado. La narración destruye una gran obra What would have made El corazón de las tinieblas I [Heart of Darkness I] better? Otro narrador. Aunque pienso que no es tanto el narrador, si no la escuela: música de fondo, una narración lineal y poco inspirada-- nada que ver con lo que hacen los narradores anglosajones. What other book might you compare El corazón de las tinieblas I [Heart of Darkness I] to and why? Por suerte conocía la obra con antelación, porque si este clásico no hubiera estado entre mi lista de favoritos, esta rendición rápidamente hubiera lapidado mis ganas de oírlo. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Island-of-Doctor-Moreau-Audiobook/B00488EZTC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Island of Doctor Moreau Author: H. G. Wells Narrator: Raimundas Jonas Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-10 Publisher: Hudson Audio Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: H. G. Wells wrote this science fiction novel during the late 19th century when the European society was absorbed with concerns about degeneration and animal vivisection. The story begins with a protagonist named Edward Prendick who finds himself shipwrecked in an ocean. A passing ship rescues him, and a doctor named Montgomery revives him. He explains to Prendick that they are bound for an unnamed island where he works, together with the animals aboard the ship. When they arrive on the island, however, both the captain of the ship and Doctor Montgomery refuse to take Prendick with either of them, stranding him between the ship and the island. The crew pushes him back into the lifeboat from which they rescued him. When they see that the ship truly intends to abandon him, the islanders take pity and end up coming back for him. Montgomery introduces him to Doctor Moreau, a cold and precise man who conducts research on the island. Prendick was housed in an outer room of the enclosure in which they live. Prendick is exceedingly curious and starts questioning about what exactly Moreau researches on the island. Then, Prendick suddenly recalls that he has heard of Moreau, an eminent physiologist in London before a journalist exposed his gruesome experiments in vivisection. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (H. G.

Prendick is exceedingly curious and starts questioning about what exactly Moreau researches on the island. Then, Prendick suddenly recalls that he has heard of Moreau, an eminent physiologist in London before a journalist exposed his gruesome experiments in vivisection. Members Reviews: classic, awesome, amazing and beautifully read. Great book by one of the greats writers of scientific romance! since it's not quite sci-fi yet. Biting social commentary on religion, empire, and the role of science in our lives that is as relevant today as 100 years ago. The reading performance is also spot on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Sir-Ralph-Richardson-reads-Joseph-Conrad-Audiobook/B003WRH2Y0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I wish EF Benson had written more about Tilling and Mapp & Lucia but these gems of recordings quell the pangs of disappointment Good but Elizabth's characterisation inconsistent Story enjoyable but Elizabeth's character almost unrecognisable in speech and delivery.

Members Reviews: ... to read this since it is represented on many great novels lists but can't give it 4 or 5 ... Had to read this since it is represented on many great novels lists but can't give it 4 or 5 stars; but I can give it a solid 3.5 stars. No doubt the book established the norm for Vampires and Gothic literature to which it deserves it's high standing, but is weak in it's repetitive verbiage regarding the constant praising of the main women characters of the story, Lucy and Mina. Once you endure that the story line is captivating and well worth reading. After all it is a classic and has been a favorite for many years. On a side note, I found it interesting to go to maps on my computer to locate the area where Count Dracula lived, Transylvania, and especially the mountain pass near his castle. Even though the story is fiction the places well described in the book become real when you see the surroundings and locations on a map. The Dracula I Never Knew On a recent trip to Romania, I decide to finally go back and read Dracula (had to get tips for how to protect myself). It's a really great story, told through a series of journal entries by all the major characters. Like many novels of its era, the plot velocity is patchy. It starts of well enough and then slows in the middle, finishing rapidly, almost in a rush. If you find yourself getting bored in the middle, force yourself to keep going. It does pay off in the end. The plot is somewhat predictable, but that's also because we've had over 100 years to absorb it. What struck me most about the original story is how much I didn't really know it. Rather, I had been indoctrinated by decades of movies and TV series that all put their own unique spin on vampires and those have so enmeshed with popular culture that nobody knows about the original. So, do yourself a favor and give this a read. It's free and the Kindle version is pretty well formatted and usable. My favorite novel of all time Don't know why, but I love this book. I started reading it again a few days ago. This is about the 8th time I've read it, and it never gets old. I love the romantic language and the chaste, Victorian attitudes. I love the way the horror and terror of Count Dracula is gradually revealed, the frustration and tragic pain of his pursuers, the cat-and-mouse game they play. Who is the pursued and who is the pursuer? I've always marveled that there is no dialogue, per se, in the entire book. Every line of the book is a diary entry, journal entry, newspaper article, bill of lading, telegraph, etc. How he weaves this together into a such a compelling story fascinates me every time I read it. The ending of the book is so exciting, so dramatic, that I am always amazed that, when adapted to a movie, they screw it up every time thinking that their ending is somehow superior. I wish someone would someday faithfully adapt the book to a movie, but after 100 years of bad Dracula movies, that doesn't seem likely. Do yourself a favor and read the original.

(Audio File) Members Reviews: The Dead by James Joyce This, of course, is a classic. It is a small, intense description of a private party in Dublin in the early 1900's in wintertime. It describes the characters, the events, the atmosphere of the evening and the relationships (sometimes strained) between the different parties at the event. It captures the mood perfectly. The version I purchased from Kindle was annotated which was very helpful from the viewpoint of the famous people of the time who are mentioned throughout and who have since been forgotten. It is a simple story, drawn very much from Joyce's own life, wife, friends and relations. Well worth reading, especially for the last few pages which really capture the moment. There was also a marvellous film adaptation of this story starring Angelica Houston, directed by John Houston which is well worth watching. You will never look at snow with the same eyes again. Five Stars love it First reading didn't thrill me It's only my first reading. I have heard that Joyce can be difficult. I don't know what to make of the narrative. His development of the scene and characters is fantastic. He leads a reader to ask questions and keep going to find the answers around the corner. He gradually unfolds the descriptions that answer the questions. Still, I was left wondering. Maybe it will hit me later. A short and striking piece The prose is excellent, but that is not the entire reason of why I like this piece. Although on my first read of The Dead I did not like it, it always returned to my mind at certain points in my life because of the subject matter. On subsequent readings I realized its beauty. The melancholy expressed over lost love and life in such a short period is profound. The Dead contains great writing. Beware of fake & distracting Kindle Edition illustrations BEWARE OF ILLUSTRATED EDITIONSThe Dead : By James Joyce - Illustrated- completely unrelated and unattractive drawings inserted at random that distract from the text.

It apparently contains The Daughters of the Late Colonel, Her First Ball, The Singing Lesson, and The Stranger. I was interested in this because of the narrator but I particularly wanted to listen to The Garden Party, and was confused for over an hour (there was no garden party), so a little Net research told me I was listening to The Daughters and the Late Colonel and that The Garden Party has completely different characters and subject matter. The title is (apparently) intentionally deceptive, and though I like the narrator and would have been interested if this included The Garden Party, I decided to return this book to Audible and not to reward the publishers' trickery. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Sire-de-Maletroits-Door-Audiobook/B002V1NWKG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On the way back to his inn, he becomes lost. To escape a group of soldiers, he pushes through a mysterious door into a dark interior. When the door shuts, he discovers he is unable to get out. Alain, Sire de Maletroit, appears and gives the young man a choice: marry his niece or face death. Can Denis escape a bloody ending? Members Reviews: PUBLIC DOMAIN WORK Bleh. Quite uninteresting, and predictable. A man somehow becomes trapped in the household of Sire de Maletroit, and is given a choice: marry the Sire's daughter, or be executed. There's a bit of back and forth with the girl, as both profess a desire to not be trapped in a marriage without love, but as both show obvious signs of infatuation with the other. And, of course, in the end, they agree to marriage. There's nothing to really interest the reader, unless you're a fan of Gothic literature and you are SERIOUSLY scraping the barrel for a new read. This story is in the public domain. you can find a free audio version at Librivox.org, or a free etext at Gutenberg.org. awesome story I read this story in my English literature class, and I originally dreaded it, but I LOVED it! I haven't read the Kindle version, but I based this off of my reading experience in literature. The first page or 2 were a little detailed, but as soon as the main character (Denis) goes through the Sire de Maletroit's door, the rest is amazing. It is a very romantic story, and hilarious too. A true romantic comedy, written by a classic author! It is based in France in the fifteenth century. The plot is basically this: A young man is walking in a town, and realizes he is being followed. The only thing he can do is go through a door, even though he has no idea what is on the other side. When he goes through, there is the Sire de Maletroit, who accuses him of having an inappropriate relationship with his niece, and he can now either marry her or be put to death. Denis and Blanche (the Sire's niece) have until the next morning to decide what to do. The story is totally funny and sweet at the same time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Adventures-of-Sherlock-Holmes-Audiobook/B002V1CGGM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A master story teller. Sherlock Holmes is a character who needs no introduction, and these stories represent some of the best written about him. The reading are decent, though I find the narrator a touch raspy. That said, I usually dislike cast readings as some of the voices can be difficult to hear in a car, though I have not found that a problem with these at all. I would recommend them to anyone interested in discovering Sherlock Holmes. Exciting Adventures Well Told This recording offers some of the most famous cases read by a cast of actors that bring the stories alive. I'm a fan but not a fanatic, and I enjoyed hearing the stories I had read decades ago (and seen a few years ago) reminding me of the essence of Sherlock Holmes. Lots of fun. The most famous sleuth in the world. What did you love best about The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes? I love Sherlock Holmes stories. This audible book delivered. There is always an excitement about how the story will end. Anticipating how Sherlock will explain his deductions is a thrill. What other book might you compare The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes to and why? Father Brown mysteries can be just as thrilling and he reveals his deductions about the same as Sherlock. What does Walter Covell and Walter Zimmerman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? It is almost like watching a movie, you see in your mind what is happening. You hear the details. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? They always move me. sub par performance The biggest problem with this audiobook is that the doctor Watson character seems intent on doing his Nigel Bruce through the whole book making it virtually unlistenable. Great stories, not great narration I bought this because I want to listen to the stories as they were originally collected, not in smaller sets or themed sets, of which Audible offers so many. The stories are great, but I was disappointed in the narration. Some of the stories were read by several people and some by only one or two. Most did Watson in an extremely loud and abrasive voice and Holmes in a dull, lifeless voice - neither of which matched my conceptions of the characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Great-Animal-Stories-Audiobook/B0763XDLRT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I must have read this brilliant Virginia Woolf short story a dozen times in the ... I must have read this brilliant Virginia Woolf short story a dozen times in the last few days, so much like listening to a string quartet, each exposure deepening my appreciation for details, each word and phrase adding color and texture and bestowing life to a torrent of associations. Where does the string quartet music actually begin and end for the narrator in her account of the eveningâs festivities? Hard to say since the story is told in sensual and turbulent stream of consciousness. We are given hints but only hints, as when we read, âHere they come; four black figures, carrying instruments, and seat themselves facing the white squares under the downpour of light; rest the tips of their bows on the music stand; with a simultaneous movement lift them; lightly poise them, and, looking across at the player opposite, the first violin counts one, two, threeââ Flourish, spring, burgeon, burst!â Ha! Those last four words are snappers for the eye and, most appropriately considering the storyâs title, music for the ear. But what exactly is flourishing, springing, burgeoning and bursting? Perhaps the first notes of the first movement of a string quartet, maybe one by Mozart; or, perhaps the narratorâs mind; or feelings and senses; or some unique combination thereof. And what is her emotional patina? Is she anxious or upset? Reflecting on the narratorâs gushing torrent of thoughts, as if the press of words were unstoppable, one literary critic writes how this short piece reflects something of Virginia Woolfâs bouts with mania, how during one such attack Woolf talked nonstop for three days. There might be an element of truth in the criticâs observation since, for example, here is a snatch of the narratorâs mindstream as she listens to the music: âBut to return. He followed me down the corridor, and, as we turned the corner, trod on the lace of my petticoat. What could I do but cry âAh!â and stop to finger it? At which he drew his sword, made passes as if he were stabbing something to death, and cried, âMad! Mad! Mad!â Whereupon I screamed, and the Prince, who was writing in the large vellum book in the oriel window, came out in his velvet skull-cap and furred slippers, snatched a rapier from the wallâthe King of Spainâs gift, you knowâon which I escaped, flinging on this cloak to hide the ravages to my skirtâto hide...â For me, the narratorâs dizzying stream of consciousness points to how what we hear in music, what images emerge, how our emotions are triggered, has so much to do with our frame of mind. How extreme can such a mental and psychic state affect what we hear? Specifically for the narrator of this story, I wouldnât be surprised if the String Quartet is playing Mozart Quartet in D minor but she is hearing music more akin to Iannis Xenakisâ Tetras. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Sanctuary-Audiobook/B01M13DNI1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beneath the Judas Tree... While searching for the annual "Ghost Story for Christmas," I came across this almost forgotten Benson tale. While it isn't a good choice for my purposes, it is an incredibly good story indeed. It has the same menacing atmosphere of M. R. James' "Lost Hearts" with a touch of "The Residence at Whitminster" and a dash of Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw." That is to say, we worry about innocence and youth in the presence of corrupting influence, and how far that influence will go. There are so many visuals here that would lend the story to a brilliant teleplay treatment. (For all I know, it has been done already). An old estate, the pool and the Judas Tree, the strange characters, the luxurious vestments...all combine to form a vivid and unforgettable picture of a place and time. "Thou art a priest forever..." Benson sometimes "overexplains" in his ghost stories, but he does that less so here, and to good effect. Roy Macready's narration is excellent. I really enjoy his characterizations and his voice. Well done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Haunted-House-Audiobook/B01FWP8M7K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Yes, I would, the story is a little confusing at the first listen, I think the depth of the content of it is improved with each listening. What did you like best about this story? I liked the eerie atmosphere, Have you listened to any of Phillip J Mathers other performances before? How does this one compare? I think that Phillip J. Mather's deep and solemn voice is great for this type of story. I also liked him narrating The Oval Portrait. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Alter-Egos-Audiobook/B00Y349M8K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Most annoying narrator! I LOVE Wilkie Collins' work and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to it aloud by other narrators. However, the narrator for this particular collection has one of the most grating and affected speech patterns I have ever heard. Her voice quality and tone is lovely, but her habit of ending virtually every sentence with a drawn out last syllable on the final word is so incredibly irritating that I could not even focus on the story line or language. It is like she is conveying, "Aren't I clever and mysterious?" with every frigging sentence! She may be fine in other narratives, but RUN FAST away from this listen and find a better version of Collins' work! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Long-Odds-Audiobook/B00KB7G4SY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Why, why why?! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? People who enjoy self mutilation, I suppose What other book might you compare Long Odds to and why? Haggard's Allan Quatermain novels are fantastic.The story is fantastic, the narrator is god awful and irritating beyond my wildest imaginings. How did the narrator detract from the book? Her accent was horrendous, it made me want to saw my head off with a plastic spoon. What character would you cut from Long Odds? None, they were all wonderful. It was the narrator, her voice should be used to break down terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. Any additional comments? I think I've said enough. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Dualitists-Audiobook/B00D8DI594 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Has Going into Society turned you off from other books in this genre? no. What didnt you like about Deaver Browns performance? awful. Any additional comments? not worth the $1.95. would rather just read the short story myself. I did not enjoy this narrator. He may be fine for Mark Twain or some other American writer but really should leave the works of Mr Dickens alone. Brilliant What did you like most about Going into Society? Beautifully written. Anything by Dickens is always worth listening to. Well read and not too long to get through in one sitting What was one of the most memorable moments of Going into Society? All. Only 32 minutes long Which character as performed by Deaver Brown was your favourite? None Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: A good little story. I read this little novella because I heard it said that Gaskell's later works were her best. In the case of Cousin Phillis I would have to diasagree. It was a sweet little story with well drawn characters but the plot was totally predictable. It seems that in 19th century England being disappointed in love almost always led to a long and near fatal illness from which the young lady, if she survived, emerged vastly improved in temperament and virtue and went on to live a quiet, unremarkable, but socially acceptable life. In this story we are presented with a young woman who is already the height of feminine virtue and beauty but who through a very quiet and confined country life as a minister's only child is completely unacquainted with society. She is, though, in possession of a very fine mind that hungers for greater knowledge and is a great reader, educated in latin and greek. It is perhaps this dangerous combination of unworldly naiveté combined with longing after greater knowledge and understanding of the world that leads her to become infatuated with a charming, handsome, well-travelled and yet inconstant young friend of the family. The drama that ensues is exactly what is to be expected from a story of this period, though written in Mrs. Gaskell's engaging style it was well worth reading. Critics Loved It - Abrupt Ending I downloaded thefree Kindle versionof this ebook because I wanted to try another story by Gaskell. I've readThe Moorland Cottageand found that it ended in a strange way. Cousin Phillis was published in parts and appeared as a serial story in The Cornhill Magazine. (per various web resources) This was the second to last title written by Gaskell before her death. Her last novel beingWives and Daughters- one of her most successful titles. Spoiler free plot - Paul Manning is a young man setting out on his own for the first time in the working world. His job as a railway worker takes him far from home. He is a clerk and just learning the ways of career and life. He discovers that he has distant relatives in the area, The Holmans. The head of that household is an extremely hard working farmer and minister. I found him to be a well-drawn and interesting character. The Minister has a plain, simple wife, and a lovely daughter named Phillis. Paul spends a lot of time with this family. The story is about his relationship and interaction with them as well as with his boss, Mr. Holdsworth. It's mostly a family drama, mixed with romance, throwing in religious elements, and a lot of thought provoking sections on duty and life choices. I hate to tell readers NOT to read a book, but I'm close to doing that. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/El-corazon-de-las-tinieblas-II-Heart-of-Darkness-II-Audiobook/B0049WFGLI Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> Título: El corazón de las tinieblas II [Heart of Darkness II] Autor: Joseph Conrad Narrador: Txemi del Olmo Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 44 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 11-01-10 Editor: NEAR, S.A.

As the time slips by without a stirring from the shed, Conradin begins to pray to Sredni Vashtar - and receives his darkest wish.

A good reading requires some kind of interpretation - I mean that the whole book is understood and read in big chunks of meaning. Helen Elizabeth reads sentence by sentence - you can hear the recording clicks in the beggining and end of each sentence - and, as a result, she reads all the sentences with exactly the same intonation, with no sense of the whole. It is worst than a reading by an electronic device such as 'text to speech'. I wouldn't advise this audio-book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Beyond-the-City-Audiobook/B002VACIKM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a lightweight social comedy, easily read in a couple of hours. It really does not have quite enough going for it to attain classic status--Diary of a Nobody by the Grossmith brothers runs circles around it in wit, invention, style and what it divulges about Late Victorian middle class suburban society. This is the story of four families that live in a new subdivision of the McMansion counterpart of suburban London in the 1890s. There are the elderly spinster sisters, stalwarts of Victorian manners, out of whose family land the subdivision was created; a widower doctor and his two marriageable daughters; a recently retired naval admiral, his wife and adult son; and another young man and his aunt, an attractive woman of a certain age, who stridently advocates suffrage, who is an adventurer and popular lecturer. There ensues some couplings--the daughters and the son and nephew and the doctor and the aunt, but then there are the necessary complications to true love. Two of the three couplings will survive, but all end up happy. The sisters provide amusing perspective of the goings on. Masterpiece Classic could take this and with the right cast and stylish approach make a winsome production. This edition is print on demand. The cover is thick, glossy photo stock, the back cover has a minimal description, and the interior is laid out competently (not all PODs are, believe me) but is minimal, with no critical introduction to put this in context. "Tragi-Comedy of Life Played Out in Three Suburban Villas" âBeyond the Cityâ is a pleasant little piece of light reading. Too long to be a short story, yet too short to be called a novel, I am reluctant to call it a ânovella.â It is more like a drawing room play in narrative form, except that the setting is three recently built and newly purchased up-scale villas in Norwood, a developing suburb south of London. The time period is the 1890s. The setting of the three villas and a commonly-shared tennis court is called âThe Wildernessâ by the real estate developer. Villa #1 is occupied by retired 65-years-old Admiral Hay Denver, his wife of many years, and their adult son, Harold, who works from morning to night in the city on the stock exchange. Villa #2 is occupied by semi-retired 52-year-old Doctor Balthazar Walker, a widower who has come into a considerable inheritance from a grateful patient and prefers scientific research to routine medical practice; his household is completed by his two young daughters, Clara and Ida, both of marriageable age, and a housekeeper. As the story opens, the new owner is moving into Villa #3. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/One-Voice-Chronological-Audiobook/B002V8MBU6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Feeling sympathy for the poor wretch, Erskine gives him money. What he does not realize is that the "beggar" is merely posing for the artist and is actually one of the richest men in the world, Baron Hausberg, who does not reveal his identity until Erskine has made a complete fool of himself. Renowned vocal actor David Ian Davies performs Oscar Wilde's classic short story. Editorial Reviews: Oscar Wilde built a reputation in fin de siecle England as a wit, playboy, and playwright. In this story, however, Wilde demonstrates his mastery as a short story writer, as well. In this comic tale, Hughie Erskine must attempt to resolve a mess of mistaken identities. Filled with commentary on art, economics, and society, Wilde's story's humor is only amplified by a delightful performance from David Ian Davies.

Filled with commentary on art, economics, and society, Wilde's story's humor is only amplified by a delightful performance from David Ian Davies. Davies' wry tone perfectly conveys Wilde's dry British sense of humor. Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/690/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why has she, of all people, become the recipient of so ghastly a package? The Adventure of the Red Circle: Doyle's inclination to journey to the United States for Sherlock Holmes material again comes to the fore here. Traveling between the two countries, his characters bring their pasts with them, and find they cannot escape their enemies or their demons by traveling to another land. The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans: Mycroft Holmes calls brother Sherlock in to investigate the theft of three key documents that expose the vital workings of the Bruce-Partington project - a turn-of-the-century submarine that promises to make warfare against the British navy vitually impossible. The Adventure of the Dying Detective: This entry in Watson's journal takes place some time after Dr. Watson's marriage and residence away from Baker Street. Watson arrives back at 221-B and is stunned to find his longtime friend Sherlock Holmes languishing in the throes of a terrible disease. Though Watson's first instinct is to help his sinking and delirium-ravaged colleague, Holmes' reactions frustrate and mystify the good doctor. The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax: "One of the most dangerous classes in the world", says Holmes, "is the drifting and friendless woman." And Lady Frances Carfax is such, and she has fallen into the clutches of a phony preacher. The Adventure of the Devil's Foot: Watson lays out the truth behind the infamous Cornish Horror case, which begins in 1897 as Holmes is recuperating from a grueling onslaught of difficult cases.

One of my favorite movies of all time, I've always wanted to read the book and after listening to the book, I still need to read it because the audio version was terrible.
