This is one of the most popular re-tellings of the story of King Arthur. Like The Lord of the Rings, this fantasy novel has been equally popular among younger readers and adults. White takes an inventive approach that involves animals who speak and Robin Hood! A true Arthurian classic.

Fantastic, but only part of a larger book.
Revisado: 09-28-18
Everything about this book is fantastic, except that is only part of a larger work. I bought it not knowing that it is part of The Once and Future King, same author and read by the same narrator. Other than getting less for the same credit, this book is a joy to listen to.

The worst part about the book is the wait for the next part! The world of Galaxy’s Edge is the best.

There be pirates in the vast void of space! Does not the poet say: "Beware the strangeness of the stranger. Unknown things bring unknown danger?" The noble ship Procrustes was silent as a ghost. Warships can be silent if they are slow; only their missiles need speed. And so it was silently, slowly, that the Procrustes approached the stranger's cold vessel.

Insightful, thrilling, and chilling!
Revisado: 01-19-16
Guest Law’s version of the future is not only fantastic, it is insightful. If mankind was expelled from earth and forced to live among the stars in interstellar vessels and habitats then of course those self-contained bastions of life would be vassal states. Human society would likely progress along the same lines as it did after the fall of the Roman Empire. It would start from small pockets of civilization, feudal societies, which, to survive the prowling barbarians and Viking raiders, would be bound by honor, right, and custom. Civilization would arise in the great expanse of space through feudal ships with passengers bound to their vassal lord, the starship captain. Those bound to fight for the ship’s survival and honor would be granted nobility, with codes of hospitality and chivalry to ensure they remained civil despite their power. Over time, you might regain the Pax Romana, but on a galactic scale it will take a great deal of time, and a very strong sword.
That Wright creates this backdrop without pedantic exposition, but through vivid story telling, and short story telling at that, is truly remarkable. That Guest Law is one of Wright’s earliest stories is proof of his mastery of the genre.
Dheere's performance is exceptional. I listened to it again the next day, and will listen to it again soon.

Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is universally regarded as one of literature's finest achievements, as the great Russian novelist explores the inner workings of a troubled intellectual. Raskolnikov, a nihilistic young man in the midst of a spiritual crisis, makes the fateful decision to murder a cruel pawnbroker, justifying his actions by relying on science and reason, and creating his own morality system. Dehumanized yet sympathetic, exhausted yet hopeful, Raskolnikov represents the best and worst elements of modern intellectualism. The aftermath of his crime and Petrovich's murder investigation result in an utterly compelling, truly unforgettable cat-and-mouse game. This stunning dramatization of Dostoevsky's magnum opus brings the slums of St. Petersburg and the demons of Raskolnikov's tortured mind vividly to life.

Masterful narration of a masterpiece

Simply great.
Revisado: 08-11-15
It goes without saying that the story is one of the great books. What needs be said is only that the narrator is one of the greats as well.

Ernest Hemingway said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author’s death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain’s original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure.
