Critic Reviews:
"Bold and erotic, laced with luxury, sexual tension, music...dazzling in its darkness....There are times when Mrs. Rice seems like nothing less than a magician. It is a pure and uncanny talent that can give voice to monsters and angels both." (The New York Times Book Review)

butchered the story
This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I've loved exit to eden for a long time and after listening to the preview of Gillan Anderson reading it I was happy to buy it. But then I started to listen to it. I was disapointed to find that any of the S&M parts seems striped from the book, any thing that wasn't conventional boy girl vanilla sex had been cut from the story. Why did they bother making an audio book? I was fine with a few things being shaved off, it was abridged, I hoped that meant they would focus on the main romance, I didn't relies that meant what washing over the really good bits! So disappointed.
Took too much out.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
They took too much out in making this abridged. It seems to skip and just becomes a romance novel.
You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Can tell the storyline was good, but again, too much missing.
missing important things
Such a shame they removed so much of this book. Important scenes were removed that were key to making this story flow, of course Gillian Anderson did a fantastic job, but I wish she was able to read the whole book. Not a extremely shorten version.
Very disappointing abridgement
Would you try another book from Anne Rice writing as Anne Rampling and/or Gillian Anderson and Gil Bellows ?
This abridged version is really bad! Totally changes the original into a limp romance novel. I'm returning it as soon as I can fire up my computer!
Has Exit to Eden turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, it's not the genre or the author,
Did Gillian Anderson and Gil Bellows do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Exit to Eden?
None of them. Or at least nothing that changes the whole book so totally.
Any additional comments?
I regret having listened to this weak, thoughtless version. If it was worth doing, why not do it well?
This is short version
What would have made Exit to Eden better?
This is a shortened version of the book. I was not aware when I purchased and I do not see the full version available.
How could the performance have been better?
This is a shortened version of the book. I was not aware when I purchased and I do not see the full version available.
