Don't Bother!

I'm always on the look-out for classic horror/ghost stories. Although the material they are reading is great, the narrators are not. One felt like they were reading one long run-on sentence, while another narrator sounded like he was reading the news! Don't bother with this one.

Questo famosissimo romanzo di Verne fu pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1873. In questa storia il londinese Phileas Fogg ed il suo cameriere francese Passepartout tentano di circumnavigare il mondo in 80 giorni, per vincere una scommessa di 20.000 sterline stipulata con i compagni del. Le innovazioni tecnologiche del XIX secolo avevano aperto la possibilità di circumnavigare il mondo rapidamente e la prospettiva affascinò Verne ed il suo pubblico. Il romanzo, dal ritmo molto più serrato rispetto agli altri romanzi di Verne, è ben congegnato e ricco di colpi di scena, oltre ad essere alternato a interessanti notizie dei paesi visitati, come abitudine dellautore. Al libro si è poi ispirato il cinema, grazie alla sua spettacolarità, e alla simpatia dei suoi protagonisti. Cornice musicale di Kevin MacLeod

Title: Library of the World's Best Mystery and Detective Stories

Author: Julian Hawthorne (editor)

Narrator: Scott Woodside

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-14-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 40 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

In the six volumes of the Library of the Worlds Best Mystery and Detective Stories, Julian Hawthorne presents us thrilling and mysterious short stories from all corners of the world. Some of the stories appeared in this 1907 collection for the first time translated into English, and many of them come from unexpected sources, such as the letters of Pliny the Younger, or a Tibetan manuscript. In the first volume, we find stories written by American authors.

Editorial Reviews:

This audiobook is from the fourth volume of a six-volume collection of diverse mystery and detective stories from around the world, assembled by Julian Hawthorne. From a letter to Roman Senator L. Licinius Sura written by Pliny the Younger in the 1st Century CE describing his experiences with the supernatural to tales from all over Europe throughout the early 20th-century that touch on tragic irony, horrific torture, Faustian deals and mystery, this audiobook has many rare gems. Most notable is Voltaires "The Babylonian", considered by some to be the primogenitor of the detective genre. Scott Woodside performs the collection lending this audio the air of a radio drama with his deep driving voice.

Members Reviews:

Reader should have learned French.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The first few stories were written by French authors. Unfortunately the reader had not learned French and he mispronounced such simple words as "monsieur" which he pronounced as "moan-sewer." As a lifelong mystery reader, some of these stories were predictable. So, I look for how the story is told. They were so-so overall.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Scott Woodside?

Anyone who knew how to speak French.

Was Library of the World's Best Mystery and Detective Stories worth the listening time?

Not really.

When did Zoroaster become Zoo Roaster.. Mon Sewer.

OK so the content was OK.. historical tales, many of which were not just detective tales but OK from a historical standpoint... and that part was good... but I had to wade through the gut wrenching mispronunciations of the storytellers narrator. Really Mon Sewer, and Zoo Roaster .. it just make the entire effort seem flawed...

If you are getting paid to read this stuff in English... then we expect you to read it in adult English not pedantic English.... really a bummer

Worst Narrator Ever

I have well over 100 audio books which means that when I say this is the worst narrator I've ever heard, I say it with some experience behind me. Mispronounced words, inappropriate pauses between words in a phrase, and pronouncing "a" with a long-a sound to mention just a few. I'm not even sure if the stories were any good - the narration was too distracting.

Not Actually Mysteries

Any additional comments?

None of the stories I listened to were mysteries or detective stories. I only listened to a few and then gave up so there may have been some hidden gems that I missed.

Not So Interesting Mystery Stories

The stories never captured my interest. I look for the unexpected and stories that keep me reading. When the stories are good I have a hard time putting the book down.

Very good!

The story is entertaining, and the narration is very good. I strongly recommend this book.

Good narrator!

I did get a bit bored at times with the atory itself. The narration, however, was well done and easy to listen to.

really enjoyed this

Excellent reading of a great classic! Easy to listen to. Made my travel time fly by

Great story but poor narration.

Would you try another book from Jules Verne and/or Peter Batchelor?

I have read and enjoyed many books by Jules Verne and I would love to read more of his writing.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was captivating and I enjoyed the main character's uncle.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator's voice was difficult hear and understand, further there were some moments when I could hear the narrator cough.

Do you think A Journey to the Center of the Earth needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It would be nice if the author was not dead... and in the center of the earth.

the reader can sound distant, but overall good

loved the story, only complaint is the inconsistent distance and quality of the reader. all the same a splendid voice though
