Excellent story, excellent performance. The language is simple, but so sincere. I cried in a few places. Plan to read all, or at least most Dostoevsky’s novels.

Did not learn anything new

I didn’t learn anything new from this book. Additionally, the readers voice is so flat and monotonous.

Awful narrator

Revisado: 12-01-22

Absolutely awful performance - robot-like, lacking intonations. I’ll make sure to remember the name of the narrator and to never buy books read by him again.

Less than stellar performance

Revisado: 04-27-22

I enjoyed the story of Pnin just like I enjoy anything written by Nabokov. However, while the narrator has very pleasant voice, the performance was ruined by a horrific pronunciation of Russian words which are quite abundant in the story. One may think that knowing the content of the book the narrator should have consulted somebody who actually speaks Russian and possibly practice a bit before undertaking such job.

Excellent in every way

Very powerful delivery by Toni Morrison. Her language is unbelievably beautiful. I was not disappointed. Would recommend it to anyone.

The most informative book I’ve ever read about hormone imbalance. Would recommend it to every woman!

Below average

Revisado: 09-02-21

I finished listening to this book only for the sake of finishing. The plot of the story is very primitive. The language is too simple. If there wouldn’t be the topics of premarital sex and illegitimate children, I would give this book to my 12 y.o. child to listen to, and not because it is good, but just because I purchased it already. What a waste of time and money. I definitely will NOT buy any other books of this author. I do not recommend it to anybody.

One need to be a native Russian speaker to fully appreciate the performance. The previous reviewer that spoke about actors laughing like hyenas clearly is not familiar with Russian language of 19th century. In my opinion the performance is excellent, all the actors are superb. Highly recommend for Russian audience. If you are not fluent in Russian just listen to the performance translated to your native language.
