David P. Putney

Narration Monotonous

Revisado: 02-17-22

Although very fond of the book, an old friend of mine, the narrator droned on and on. She was expressive in intonation, but she had difficulty keeping my attention, since nearly all the characters sounded the same, with the exception of Mrs. Bennet, the Mother, and even she was hard to distinguish from other elderly ladies. Lady Catherine, was done well, I have to admit. The most problematic was that It was hard for me to tell the difference between men and woman, and men in general. Especially disappointing was Darcey. Having grown used to your other excellent readers, who stand out as character actors in their own right. I usually enjoy the readers so much, I was especially disappointed in this one.

Beware this a heavily abridged version

Revisado: 01-14-22

This review is about this particular audible edition only. Not about the classic novel by the great Charles Dickens I bought this Audible Version, because it was read by David Case, but failed to notice that the play time was only a few hours. The advertisement did NOT state that this is an abridged version. The abridgment is horrible. It deserves minus 10 stars. Not only does it leave out the entire trip to America by young Martin, but also the entire story of Jonas, the worst villain of the story. The rest of the book is also heavily abridged. The pieces are blended so poorly, it becomes difficult to follow what little of the story remains. Even the narration of David Case was disappointing. I had just finished his reading of "Bleak House," which I enjoyed immensely. Why someone would want to leave out the most famous scenes in the book is beyond me.
Stay aware from this version like the plague.

Beware, if you use 1 click, no credits

Revisado: 12-16-17

What disappointed you about Ghostwritten?

I have not read the book yet so disregard content stars.
Beware ! Do not use once click if you want to also get the companion Audio book, but want to use your credits, becouse if you want to use those credits you need to be in the cart, and one click skips the cart, and offers no opportunity to use your credits. I forgot that one click does not give the option.
