Middlemarch is a recognized masterpiece that explores the complex social world of 19th century England. It is concerned with the lives of several ordinary people, albeit ones with high social standing. The novel explores the very fabric of Victorian society in the 1800s, showing how various human passions, heroism, egotism, love, and lust, interrelate within this society.

Great story, dense prose
Revisado: 07-23-21
It took me a bit to "get into" this book, and at one point I was ready to quit, but then I got hooked on the story - and it is a great story, and now I can't wait to listen to this book again! Kate Reading is one of my favorite narrators.

A beautifully woven story
Revisado: 07-01-21
The story of the little pauper who dared ask for "more" gruel, told in Dickens matchless prose, full of dry British wit, and narrated by one of the best: Simon Vance. Recommend as a summer listen, or fall or winter or spring!

A very nearly matchless novel
Revisado: 05-22-21
A beautifully constructed story told with rich vocabulary embedded with dry British humor, brought more to life with the excellent narration. The kind of book that can have a lasting impact on your life. How I wish I had read it in high school when I was supposed to have!!

Gordon Comstock loathes dull, middle-class respectability and worship of money. He gives up a 'good job' in advertising to work part-time in a bookshop, giving him more time to write. But he slides instead into a self-induced poverty that destroys his creativity and his spirit. Only Rosemary, ever-faithful Rosemary, has the strength to challenge his commitment to his chosen way of life.

Loved the narration; hated the technical glitches
Revisado: 01-25-20
Richard E. Grant narrated this book wonderfully. After just a few minutes I looked up all the other books that he narrated, since he had, in that short time, become a favorite. But technically speaking, this was the worst audible.com book I have ever had: "End of CD 3," "Beginning of CD 4," no break whatsoever between the last word of a chapeter and the announcement of the next chapter, almost as if they were one word. "Swordchapter 3" or "novelschapter 7' and so forth. Still, for all that I will probably listen again. It's a memorable story, I like to fall asleep to a book, and Richard E. Grant is a perfect narrator to read you to sleep like a kind and trustworthy uncle.

James A. Michener tackles the most ambitious subject of his career: space, the last great frontier. This astounding novel brings to life the dreams and daring of countless men and women - people like Stanley Mott, the engineer whose irrepressible drive for knowledge places him at the center of the American exploration effort, and Norman Grant, the war hero and US senator who takes his personal battle not only to a nation but to the heavens.

It took 400 pages to kick in...
Revisado: 10-26-16
A stunning work of historical fiction, good character development、An epic story. It just didn't kick in with me, so to speak, until abt. p. 400 or so. I kept sloughing through because I've not yet read a Michener book that wasn't worth it, and I'm glad I finished this one.
