Members Reviews:

This short novel yet again showcases Dickens' dry wit. ...

This short novel yet again showcases Dickens' dry wit. Typical of Dickens, The Cricket on the Hearth makes a statement about social customs and societal mores of the 19th century. This is one of Dicken's less serious works and is an 'easy read'. Ricardo Silverburn, children's author.

A Good Winter's Tale

I am a longtime fan of Charles Dickens, so, not too surprised that I liked this, as well. A shorter novel, it introduces each character thoroughly, beginning with the family who belong to the Cricket. Mr. Dickens weaves a world that is easy to see, and includes his trademark touches of humor - such as the baby's nanny, and the boxer dog. Spend some time with the Cricket on the Hearth. You won't regret it!

Lovely story

Great little love story about two people others would see as mismatched. Their story is intertwined with the usual Dickens' characters,those with nasty dispositions and wealth and of course the opposite, the downtrodden and sickly. But then there is always the surprise at the end!

I am so glad that I found this book on Kindle, and for free at that, I could not put it down once I started reading it.

Boring, and Largely Undeveloped

This story was...odd. The very ending was okay, but the bulk of it just seemed pointless. There wasn't a clear purpose to the story. Any plot was largely undefined until right at the end. The storytelling style was also rather quirky, with some asides that I can only imagine as a storyteller's asides to children, except many of them don't seem like the kinds of things one says to children. It isn't awful, but it really isn't worth the time investment to read it, either.

Short but Dickensian

Although short and simple,this book contains many of the attributes that make Dickens such a great author. The subtle humor and excessively emotionalized characters capture the reader's attention and make the book highly enjoyable.

Awful Production

What disappointed you about The Green Eye of the Yellow God?

Great poem ruined by over production, unnecessary sound effects and intruding sounds that masked the reading of the poem - an unsympathetic production and a waste of money.

Critic Reviews:

En meget fin og vittig og rrende historie om en ung pige, der engang lod sig kue til at sige nej til sin elskede, fordi han var fattig og nu mder ham igen, da han er blevet rig. Forbavsende er den spnding, som Austen kan oparbejde, om de to mennesker nu fr hinanden. (Bent Mohn, Politiken)

Det er en bog om modenhed og godhed og kvindesind, og den er ikke bare morsom, men ogs gri-bende. Jane Austens bger er med hendes egne ord noget der udvider ens viden om arten menne-ske (Poul Borum, Ekstra Bladet)

Title: Tom Jones

Author: Henry Fielding

Narrator: Nigel Davenport

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-19-12

Publisher: The Copyright Group

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Tom Jones is widely regarded as one of the first and most influential English novels. It is certainly the funniest. Tom Jones, the hero of the book, is introduced to the reader as the ward of a liberal Somerset squire. Tom is a generous but slightly wild and feckless country boy with a weakness for young women. Misfortune, followed by many spirited adventures as he travels to London to seek his fortune, teach him a sort of wisdom to go with his essential good-heartedness.

Delightful and entertaining

314. The History of Tom Jones: a foundling by Henry Fielding (Novel-Audible/E Book-Fiction) 5* I read along with the Audible of the novel which I found a highly delightful and entertaining experience.

The narrator, Bill Homewood, who performed the audio version of the work was excellent doing the various characters as well as the invisible narrator (author) of the story. The Synopsis is as follows:

A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squireâthough he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.

It is rather brilliant, and there is no lack of shenanigans as we follow Jones through his history and the reader never knows when and where the author will abruptly go off on a tangent, told in a most eloquent manner, end with a flourish and no doubt tossed his quill down and took a bow. I am either taken in by some farce or thoroughly enchanted by this author. As Fielding is rather the loquacious writer this read comes in Audible time at almost 38 hours or roughly 1,000 pages but worth every minute spent on it.

The book itself is five stars!

This is a review of the Oxford Classic Kindle edition.

The book itself is one of the greatest novels ever written; this is maybe the third time I've read it. Fielding is a master of irony, by which I mean genuine irony, not the mean sarcasm that often passes for irony these days. Fielding is never mean-spirited. His irony is generous and his humor is benevolent. His characters are three-dimensional, never all good or all bad. Before reading this, I had been re-reading several Dickens novels, and the contrast is enormous. A Dickens villain is a villain to the core, and his heroes (and especially his heroines) are saints. Tom instead is a young man with many faults, but a great heart. Sophia, his beloved, is a genuinely good person, but she's got a certain fiery spirit, and has her moments of doubt and remorse.

I advise you to read every word of this novel. It's divided into books, and the first chapter of each book is an address to the reader, expounding Fielding's theories on literature and on human nature. An impatient reader might be tempted to skip these, but that would mean missing a lot of worthwhile and enjoyable reading.

I have some quibbles with the Kindle edition. There were some mistakes in the passage from print to pixels, but they were not excessive.

Critic Reviews:

Jane Austen er den bedste! Igen forstr man, hvorfor engelske kritikere igen og igen sammenligner hende med Shakespeare. En Shakespeare i kammerformat. Eller en Mozart. Hvad denne ugifte prstedatter dog vidste om mennesker! Hun skriver med spillende ironi og sklmske underdrivelser, og hvert ord og hver detalje er rigtig. (Poul Borum, Ekstrabladet)

Title: Arthur Conan Doyle: The Poetry

Author: Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrator: Richard Mitchley, Ghizela Rowe

Format: Original Recording

Length: 1 hr and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-16-12

Publisher: The Copyright Group

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

If ever a writer needed an introduction, Arthur Conan Doyle would not be considered that man. After all, Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the most well-known literary detective of any age. Add to this canon his stories of science fiction and horror, his historical novels, his political campaigning, and his efforts in establishing a Court Of Appeal, and there is little room for anything else. Except he was also a poet. Not perhaps the finest but his distinctive voice is certainly evident amongst his lines and verses. And its a voice worth listening to; something very different from what you might expect. So without further ado our readers, including Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe bring you the poems of Arthur Conan Doyle.

Members Reviews:

OK but Not Great

The story drawn by Geary is excellent, but the others are not so well drawn or told. One of your issues, as a potential buyer, is how much you enjoy the R. Geary drawn stories. I enjoy them very much so I feel the price of the book was within reason; however, unless you thoroughly enjoy Mr. Geary's work this book might be a let down. Most of the stories are not mysterious but are rather adventure stories, and most of them are poorly drawn compared to Mr. Geary's style, which is displayed on the cover. For example, if you like a more broad stroke less detailed style of drawing Mr. J. W. Pierard may appeal to you. All of the artists, outside of Geary, in this book have that broader style.

Please note the drawings are not in color as shown to on the cover. The entire book is black and white.
