Like Curling up with a Blanket and a Cup of Tea

I absolutely adore Jane Eyre; it is one of those novels I get going back to. It's comforting to read something familiar, but I always get something ne out of it when I revisit it. Hearing it narrated is even better -- it's like getting a wonderful bedtime story. Larkin's narration of this classic is spot on. Her portrayal of each character brings them alive, and adds to the overall experience of the story.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook by the publisher in exchange for an honest review, for which I thank the publisher.

The narrorator doesn't seem to match the text

Revisado: 08-07-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I love Kahil Gibran. His writing is lyrical, magical, and profound. His writing is the sort that one can re-read at different stages of one's life and get different things out of it -- all of them meaningful. I was so excited to recieve a copy of this as an audiobook, because poetry recited often adds a new dimension to the work.

However ... the narration lacks something. The narrator is skilled, but his voice does not match the text, in my opinion. His is not the voice I would have chosen to narrate this work.

I really like this series

Revisado: 11-17-17

I was given a free copy of this audiobook by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I am very grateful for the free audiobook! I have enjoyed this series so much. It is well-plotted, humorous, diverting, engaging, witty, well-written, and overall entertaining. I enjoyed the two books that preceded this installment in the series, and the third one did not disappoint. I love seeing how Pickett and Lady Fieldhurst interact. This book intensified their connection even more -- which made the cliffhanger at the end even more tantalizing! (In all honesty: the romance does not overshadow the mystery, for those who are purists. I am first and foremost a mystery reader ... but I can appreciate a romantic element under the mystery.) I cannot wait to read the next installment, given how this book ended.

I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. I have read this story more than once, and I have listened to other performances of the story. I will not tolerate anyone not doing him justice in an audiobook production. This was a pretty good reading (not as good as the Stephen Fry production, but few can match him).There were a few times that the pace of the reading seemed too slow (odd pauses before words, etc.), but overall it was well done.
