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.

Histoire
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. 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.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Histoire
In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

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!

Tom Hollander’s performance is completely perfect for the character of Alex, and the Nadsat slang sounds so natural and so colourfully descriptive. Great story and a great narration.

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.
