About this listen
On the eve of his marriage to the beautiful Mercedes, having that very day been made captain of his ship, the young sailor Edmond Dantès is arrested on a charge of treason, trumped up by jealous rivals. Incarcerated for many lonely years in the isolated and terrifying Chateau d'If near Marseille, he meticulously plans his brilliant escape and extraordinary revenge.
Of all the "masked avengers" and "caped crusaders" in literature, The Count of Monte Cristo is at once the most daring and the most vulnerable. Alexandre Dumas (père), master storyteller, takes us on a journey of adventure, romance, intrigue, and ultimately, redemption.

A century after it first appeared, Crime and Punishment remains one of the most gripping psychological thrillers. A poverty-stricken young man, seeing his family making sacrifices for him, is faced with an opportunity to solve his financial problems with one simple but horrifying act: the murder of a pawnbroker. She is, he feels, just a parasite on society. But does the end justify the means? Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov makes his decision and then has to live with it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 107
A vicious 15-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic, a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. In Anthony Burgess' nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology.

Excellent, Engaging Narration
Top notch narration, and the sample does not do Bill Homewood justice. Excellent differentiation between characters. Most impressively, Bill has a mastery of French, Italian, and Spanish pronounciations; a large commodity in this book.

fantastic novel, narration issues
This novel was superb. The problem lies in the narrator's wet and sloppy reading.

Very lively recitation
The person reciting brought emotion into the story. This is a complete version of this book and is not abridged. I really enjoyed the whole book and in parts found it very hard to put down.
In addition, the pronunciation of the words in different languages was done admirably.

Incredibly, riveting, suspenseful epic
This 52-hour audiobook is worth every minute! Not for one second was the story slow - it's so engaging and suspenseful, full of utterly wild twists and turns, you just can't stop listening. Probably one of the best books I've ever read/listened to. Highly recommended. I would listen to the whole thing again (or maybe buy an actual book). Excellent narration. You may wonder how a 52-hour book can keep you interested - there are just tales within tales, and back stories and hidden stories that are later revealed, in the complex (but easy to follow) interconnected lives of all these heroes and villains. Bravo, well done Monsieur Dumas!
