Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde come to life!
Revisado: 04-02-16
This version of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is an instant classic and must own for any fan of Robert Louis Stevenson. The narrator, David McCallion, does a tremendous job with this book, bringing life to each character with their own voice throughout the book. My only wish is that he gave a bit more of a scary demeanor to the voice of Mr. Hyde, but don’t let that deter you from getting this wonderful rendition of an all-time classic story.
Some of the best novels ever published are those that focus on someone with a dark secret. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is no different, and is one of the best classic tales of deceit, death, and confusion. Robert Louis Stevenson is a master at keeping my attention, giving only a few bread crumbs to lead me on the trail until the whole backstory is revealed. The good-natured lawyer Mr. Utterson is growing suspicious of Dr. Jekyll's friend, Mr. Hyde, especially when he discovers that Dr. Jekyll has drawn up paperwork leaving all his belongings to the strange Mr. Hyde should anything happen to him.
It seems that with every little misfortune that occurs in town, either Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde are always involved. This fact again scares Mr. Utterson, and we eventually find out that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are one and the same; Mr. Hyde simply represents the pleasure-seeking part of Dr. Jekyll who emerges from time to time. This, we know at the end, is destructive. Part mystery, part shocker, David McCallion takes us through all of the ups and downs of the trickery, the deceit, and the suspense this novel has to offer. Definitely a great addition to your audiobook library!

Joining the captain on his epic journey around the world is Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and the Canadian whaler Ned Land. These three become guests of the reclusive submariner when they are washed overboard on a ship that is tracking the Nautilus, believing that it is some kind of giant sea creature.

The beauty of writing about the sea is that there is so much - both known and unknown - that lies beneath the water’s surface, which makes any tale about it intriguing yet at the same time terrifying. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a fascinating tale about just how far people are willing to go to find out what exists underneath the ocean, and in Professor Pierre Aronnax’s case, the initial journey to investigate what some people think is a sea monster becomes one of the most frightening and emotional adventures he has ever embarked on in his entire life.
David McCallion gives a tremendous reading of this incredible classic, and it is so impressive how he is able to switch between not just characters and personalities, but between accents, as well! He clearly captures the elements of adventure, suspense, and joy at appropriate times throughout the novel, acting like the map that we as the reader need to navigate the deep seas with each of the characters! The very end of the book is the part that I love the most; ending with a touch of suspense and a lot of mystery.
