Best Reader Ever!

Revisado: 01-09-20

This book has no need of a review from anyone. It's remained at the top of the best book list for hundreds of years. However, Thandie Newton's reading is deserving of the highest praise. It would be impossible for me to adequately express the depth of her talent. She can convey every subtle emotion, every breeze or cross current. every insinuation, attitude of not only Jane Eyre, but of every other character in the book. Her accent as Jane Eyre is exquisite and equally the accents of all the different servants, each of their own districts along with every other character in the story. Each voice is seemingly perfect. Her talent as a reader is unparalleled in my opinion. Enjoy, readers!

Disappointed....

Revisado: 05-12-16

Sadly, I found that this book was ruined by the reader. The voice seemed old, crone like, rough and manly although the reader is a woman.

Although the sensibilities of both the time of the story and the time of it's writing are both some what foreign to most of us today, still the character of Hester was more cowed than would render her a heroine. Also the portrayal of the little daughter as a wicked sprite was less than generous.

Incredible narration.

Revisado: 05-06-16

I could listen to Fenella Woolgar read the text on a cereal box and I would be utterly rapt. Her voice can insinuate a multitude of complexities in the most simple sentence. The story was very good but made superlative by the most amazing narrator imaginable. She is beyond brilliant.
