Legendary, not to be mossed with Dame Stevenson’s narration

Revisado: 04-28-25

What an incredible work of art. In all of time and ages, and with Juliet Stevenson actually loving Wuthering Heights as a book, this came to be an amazing, most incredible audiobook . I have listened to it maybe over twenty times, it is as good as going back to an old show you rewatch constantly, except the depth of the feelings and the authenticity of Dame Stevenson’s voice, accents and such are one of a kind and not to be repeated. I highly recommend Jane Eyre read by her as well. I wish she did all of the Brontë novels!!!

Great narration, slightly better than average story

Revisado: 04-18-25

Interesting story, but I think the details and images in the book could have been better. The story was set in a way that I knew all about the plot twists from the beginning, namely, they weren’t super well-twisted or well-concealed.
The voice actress did a great job.

A Greatly peculiar Murdoch

Revisado: 10-30-24

This is the 10th Murdoch I have read (or rather, listened to) and I am baffled by how much her works could truly be identified as "a Murdocy", yet have absolutely nothing in common. This one was peculiar and philosophical (maybe less than "The Unicorn", my most favorite Murdoch) and the narrator did an incredible job with different characters. She was so good with the stutter of a character that I actually had to stop listening for an hour to get over that brilliance before resuming.

actress struggles...cliche or fresh outlook?

Revisado: 09-06-24

I am a big Gilmore Girls fan, which is how I know Lauren Graham and how I came to find her book. I read mixed reviews about it, and maybe it was kind of a cliche when it was written, but it was fun, deep and refreshing for me to listen to. A struggling actress is no news, especially in New York, but she helped us see into her head as a person with feelings, and not just a pretty girl obsessing over her jeans' size. I also loved the connection between J. D. Salinger's Franny and the protagonist, I personally love that short story and I had never seen it being interpreted in this way. loved it!

incredible masterpiece, art

Revisado: 05-18-24

This short book is beyond beautiful. A capsule of feelings, music and soft sadness. She is just too beautiful to bear.

vanilla facade, a world of wonder inside

Revisado: 04-29-24

I bought this book when Persephone books published it with the beautiful portrait on the cover of the three people having tea, but the flow was too slow for me and I eventually gave up. when I read on their website about this new audiobook version, I immediately snatched it up and finished it in three days. i think it's important to hear the story read in British accent, however ridiculous that may sound.
The story is very similar to what I have seen in almost every family, no matter the cultural or geographical background. Whipple completely knows her characters and describes them through the eyes of a person who wants to understand why.
a great read.

a great story revived by Andy Serkis!

Revisado: 12-23-23

I tried reading the Hobbit when I was in high school, and had to leave it unfinished (several times). I read LOTR years after that and loved it, and came to the conclusion that I didn't like the Hobbit because it was a children's story, and boring for my age.
I was wrong!
this Audiobook is unbelievably amazing. Andy Serkis does such a fantastic job as narrator, voice artist and storyteller.
couldn't recommend more!!!

I am an Iris Murdoch admirer. I went in to hear this one with high expectations and I wasn’t disappointed. It was such a great experience.

Enjoyable read

I liked that Ali Smith read it herself, it was lovely to hear her tones on different occasions.
