A terrifying vision of scientific progress without moral limits, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein leads the listener on an unsettling journey from the sublime beauty of the Swiss alps to the desolate waste of the arctic circle. Obsessed with the idea of creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material with which to fashion a new being, shocking his creation to life with electricity. But this botched creature, rejected by its creator and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy Frankenstein and all that he holds dear.

Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her.

A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis - an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved.

Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

One of my favourite books
A clockwork orange is my favourite movie and now favourite book. I loved the story so much and will probably listen to it three hundred thousand more times. I recommend this book to anyone who liked the movie and to anyone who doesn’t mind violence, sex and drug references. It is an amazing book! Please read it!

Regardless of Burgess’ attempts to disown it, or cast it as misunderstood, this book is extremely impressive and ingenious (if incredibly disturbing in parts). The narrator’s performance is absolutely incredible. Bravo!

This book is wild.
I don't know what I expected when I started to listen to this book, but I was really impressed with how insane this story is. The narrator nails the voices in my opinion. Did a story of its day, it was ahead of its time, and for many of us today it still may be.
Listen to this because you want to listen to a story that is beyond the normal boundaries of conversation in your personal life. Allow this story to let you experience a way of life that you thought never existed though it likely did. Many other non fiction titles make me believe that this likely has roots in reality, though it may be a hard pill to swallow.

Real Horror-Show O My Brothers
Kubrick was Spot-On. The film was remarkably faithful to the events of this book. Throughout I could picture McDowell's face. This entire book is written in Droogish, from the perspective of Little Alex. Burgess, a linguist, developed a new language for this Science Fiction work which is not really Science Fiction...it's much more philosophical. The author's unique language creates an immersive experience. We are in Alex's world. Tom Hollander's reading is fantastic. Accents are very realistic and strikingly consistent with the text. It's one of the best narrating jobs I've heard. The final Chapter is a reprise of earlier events, read by the author himself. Kubrick was right to eliminate it from his film. Burgess' reading is not bad...but it reminds me of the manky Yorkshireman in 'Several Species of Small, Furry Mammals..." by Pink Floyd. This fascinating combination of Action/World-Building and Social Commentary is worth 9.5 out of 10 stars.
