Sylvester McCoy (Dr. Who, The Hobbit) is a Perfect Scrooge!

This brilliant adaptation is a sensory experience that remains true to Dickens' source material, casting Sylvester McCoy (Dr. Who, The Hobbit) as the perfect Scrooge. The supporting players and full musical score are strong, while the sound design brings you into 19th century England. It's running time is sufficient to convey a satisfying amount of the story, enough to give full expression to the Scrooge character. I can't express how excellent McCoy is in the lead - his every inflection and tone are pitch perfect. Highly recommended.

Title: The Invisible Man

Author: H. G. Wells

Narrator: Linda Barrans

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-24-17

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

What would it be like to be invisible? What would you do? What if you couldn't change back?

Griffin, an albino, unlikable, the most gifted physicist the world has ever seen, works himself almost to madness in his quest for invisibility. Once he succeeds, he does not care for it as much as he expected to.

Cold, jostled by strangers, attacked by dogs - unable even to eat without becoming visible - he looks for a place to hide where he can discover a way to return to normal. Crazed by overwork and frustration, he cannot understand why no-one will help him.

He comes to the conclusion that invisibility is good for only one thing - for killing.

H. G. Wells' classic is well-known as an adventure: perhaps less expected is the humour and the comic characters, such as Mister Thomas Marvel - "not one of yer ignorant tramps."

The Invisible Man is, even today, a thrilling yarn, full of fun, suspense, pathos, and tragedy. As Marvel would say - "If that don't beat cock fightin'!"

Accessible and entertaining classic

The Invisible Man is one of those classics that has been on my TBR for ages, always getting posponed to read other titles instead. But after a mention that this classic was actually quite entertaining, I decided to finally pick it up. And they were right, because I actually found myself having a lot of fun while readingÂThe Invisible Man. Not only is the prose quite easy to read, but the plot itself is both intriguing and entertaining as things start escalating. The character development has been really well done and shows the effects being invisible can have on a man... If you are looking for an accessible and entertaining classic to read,ÂThe Invisible Man is the choice for you.

Insightful

Read this book for an English class and I thought it was very insightful. It gave very convincing theories on human nature and what possibly could lay ahead of us in the future. to me this book gave the illusion of mystery by not giving some people names. This mystery exemplified the imagery the time travler gave about the future. the ending heightened the mystery seven fold. I was left wanting more, wanting to know more, and wanting to go back to the future with the time traveler. Made me really think about how the time travelers theories are thought out and could potentially actually happen. Definitely a thought invoking read

A Great Old War!!

This is a good old fashioned yarn. I read the book through in one or two sittings. HG created a sense of menace and despair through the book, which I loved. His descriptions were evocative of the times, and I could almost visualize the destruction taking place, as the book weaved along.

The writing is, for our times, old fashioned, yet timeless. The almost forgotten craft of writing is something that was displayed through the book. I lost the part where the Martians were 'destroyed'. It would have been really nice to have had a nice description of this, but you can't have everything in life!

If you want a good book to read by the fireside, then this is one I can recommend.

Classic Still Has the Attraction and Impact of A Fresh Story!

The Time Machine, like all of H.G. Well's works, are classics. However, they still are enjoyable even after the umpteenth reading! I like the old (not the newer) version of the movie as well. This is a Victrorian story, keep it Victorian! Trying to update it in the newer movie was doomed to failure.

Publisher's Summary:

'The manuscript was submitted to me by a young officer of the R.F.A., home from the front on leave. He explained that he had brought with him from France a bundle of papers which he had found in one of the dug-outs of an abandoned gun position. He discovered the papers secreted in a dark corner wedged in between a post and the wall of one of the bunks. There was no indication of the writers name or of his unit, and the name of the girl he had loved was never recorded. On thinking the matter over, the officer began to feel more and more strongly that they ought to be given back to that woman. Reading the tattered manuscript I was from the first impressed with its literary value; but as I read on I became deeply absorbed in its poignant human importance.'

I haven't been so engrossed in a book in a long time. My heart went out to this poor soldier and his desire to express his love to an American nurse. If you have any interest in WW1, you will want to add this book to your collection.

Title: Sense and Sensibility

Subtitle: With an Excerpt from 'Jane and Me: My Austen Heritage'

Author: Jane Austen

Narrator: Alison Larkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-07-17

Publisher: Alison Larkin Presents

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

AudioFile Earphones award-winning recording!

Following her critically acclaimed narration of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with Songs from Regency England, Emma, Persuasion & Poems and Northanger Abbey & The History of England, award-winning narrator Alison Larkin is back, bringing depth and a light comedic touch in this Earphones award-winning recording of Austen's first published novel.

"Alison Larkin's narration will captivate listeners from the first sentence. Her delicate voice and perfect English accent sweep the listener back in time, right into the lives of the characters," raves AudioFile Magazine.

Thanks to her manipulative daughter-in-law, Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters must leave their beloved family home in Sussex for a small cottage in Devon. While Marianne, impulsive and passionate to the core falls madly in love with an unsuitable man, her more conventional sister Elinor struggles to hide her true feelings for the man she must try to forget.

This AudioFile award-winning recording of Sense and Sensibility is followed by a short excerpt from Jane and Me: My Austen Heritage by Caroline Jane Knight, Jane Austen's fifth great niece the last of Austen's descendants to grow up on the estate where Austen lived and wrote. Like the Dashwoods, Caroline and her family were forced to leave their family home for financial reasons. The parallels are fascinating.

Members Reviews:

Great listen!

absolutely loved listening to this! Great narration to a great classic. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher

Jane Austen never sounded better!

Sense and Sensibility is my one of my most cherished Jane Austen novels. This is the classic unabridged story of the Dashwood sisters: how their half-brother throws them out of their family home soon after their father dies, how Mariannes heart gets broken by Willoughbys cruel rejection, and how Elinor conceals her own heartbreak when the love of her life is engaged to be married to someone else. And then there is my personal favorite Austen hero, the understated yet constant force that is Colonial Brandon (sigh).

I was thrilled to see Alison Larkin finally narrate Sense and Sensibility because she has a way of conveying Janes dry wit like no other. Jane Austen wrote most of her novels as satire and no one conveys it better than Alison. Her narration brings to life these beloved characters with her smooth undertones and subtle nuances. As she does with all of her narrations, Alison uses differing voices for all characters, and changes up the tempo during the most exciting parts of the story.

As an added bonus, this version of the audiobook includes a short excerpt from Jane and Me: My Austen Heritage by Caroline Jane Knight, Jane Austen's 5th great grandniece. I loved hearing how Caroline was embarrassed to read some of Janes letters because they included too much personal information. I couldnt help but smile.

Simply put, I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone especially those who love a good Jane Austen novel!

Sense and Sensibility is such a classic. I always return to this one. A wonderful book I always enjoy.

Alison Larkin is a wonderfully talented narrator. I love her work. She makes this book that much better.
