Reviewer: Deena - April 6, 2021 Subject: excellent My second time teading this-- and i've seen the 1961 film a few times. Love it every which way. The dramatic reading is very well executed, but the intro and ending for each chapter are bizzarely dramatized as well. a minor irritant; I thoroughly enjoyed listening. |

Reviewer: dg - April 13, 2016 So glad the narrator did not talk the way she introduces and ends each chapter! She is a very good reader and it was a very strange book, but very captivating. |
