Ponniyin Selvan is widely considered by many to be the greatest novel ever written in Tamil literature. It was first published as a series in the Kalki, a Tamil language magazine, during the 1950s and was later integrated into a novel. The craze for the series, which was published weekly, was such that it elevated the magazine circulation to reach a staggering figure of 71,366 copies - no mean achievement in a newly independent India.

review of the audiobook production.
Revisado: 03-18-21
In the face of such magnificant writing, all you to have to do is merely narrate. Everything else is a mere distraction that takes away from the beauty of ponniyin selvan.
The producers of this audiobook seem to be highly confused as to what the final outcome should be. It looks like they couldn't decide if the end product should be an audiobook, a theatre play or an audiomovie. As a result, the sum total is worse than the sum of its parts.
The audiobook features multiple narrators narrating different characters. For the most part, the main narrator does an extremely good job and had it just been him without the background accessories, this would have been a decent effort. The quality of narration wavers from quite good to really bad. The exaggerated laughter performed by the narrators are often totally uncalled for and can even get annoying at times.
But the biggest bane of this book is its music. The book contains several songs which has been sung with music in the audiobook. The singing barring those of Senthan Amudhan is quite mediocre. The composer perhaps is more at fault than the singers for this I suppose. Kalki wrote a beautiful song for Manimeghalai in this book. The author felt it was so important that she sang the song again at the very end of book at a defining moment. The composer has completely butchered that song. especially the second time at the climax. Manimeghalai is supposed to sing the song with melancholy. The composer instead made it out to be what is called in tamil as "oppari". If that wasn't enough, the background score for the books feature original soundtracks lifted from movies like the lord of the rings trilogy, avatar, titanic, bravheart, the mummy and several more. Why take the trouble to add background music to narration and then lift music elsewhere when you can simply narrate the book. what is more is that for some reason the producers felt they could let the music play on at the ends of each chapter for some dramatic effect and the extended pause of narration seems to get longer and longer with each book. This was extremely annoying when the pause goes on and on at critical moments which are abound in ponniyin selvan.
When I first got to know that ponniyin selvan audiobooks are finally being made, I was overjoyed. after listening to this production, I am somewhat disappointed. Please, just stick to narrating. I will look for other much simpler productions of the rest of kalki's books. If it was only Bombay Kannan and the other main characters narrating their parts, this would have been a magnificent production of a truly timeless epic.

Maya Angelou is such a beautiful human being. The book is Poignant, powerful and utterly beautiful. Her style of writing inspires such awe.

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind.

awful
Revisado: 09-02-18
A Word salad with the word consicousness being the main ingredient. Mindless verbiage disguised to seem profound but is absolutely meaningless. The author has little clue about science and scientific principles but that doesn't stop him from exploiting it.
