Historia5 out of 5 stars 10
Poe's eerie story of a strange doppelganger, with a classic twist at the end. William Wilson, from his early schooldays, is dogged and taunted by another boy of similar height and appearance, who bears the same name as himself. Although as young boys they manage to tolerate each other, over time, as Wilson moves through Eton and Oxford and out into the world, his alter ego frequently turns up to thwart him at critical moments in his life.

Nicely read doppelgänger story

Clear female reader with a calm thespian voice. Since it's first-person madman, a male and more impassioned reading would make sense. Don't think that the climax really came out in this reading.

Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might die. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him. Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister's recent death. When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it's unclear who saves whom.

Dated story and style
Revisado: 06-02-15
The weak link in Bradbury's works. Here his poetic style consists in saying things multiple ways and it comes across as redundant and stilted, lost in abstraction. He copies Shakespeare for the title but there are no original memorable lines. The story is about 13 yr old friends and an evil fair that comes to their little town. The ending can't be spoiled because it already is - with Will's dad hitting him to make him stop crying over his almost-dead friend Jim; father and son trade verses of Oh Susanna to get an evil spirit to flee from Jim. Pick a different Bradbury book. The performer is energetic.

The case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce has ground its way through the courts for generations. At its heart are Ada Clare and Richard Carstone, who find love - and terrible loss - through their involvement in the endless battle. Meanwhile, her friend Esther Summeson, who believes she is an orphan, gradually discovers the truth of her identity. The court case throws out a web ensnaring all who come near it, including Lady Dedlock, the menacing lawyer Tulkingham, detective Bucket and tragic little waif Jo.

Bleak House ruined by narrator
Revisado: 11-29-10
The reader, with a master thespian British accent, actually rrrrrolls his "r" as though he were speaking Spanish. Worse, instead of reading at an even pace, he skims a few words and pauses, skims and pauses, like an old slide show going black between each slide - which makes it tedious to follow.
Idea: The novel would be better read by 2 readers, since half is in Dickens' voice and half in the voice of the character Esther.
Obviously, my review has nothing to do with the greatness of the novel. I was just hoping to hear a great book that I'd already enjoyed.
