    Story

    Thought this was a rare audio of my most favorite book. Was so excited to get started listening, but was VERY sad when I realized this was not the entire book. For what it is it is fine, but I want the entire book.

    Story

    I was nervous to read Faulkner having always heard how difficult his novels were. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease at which I was able to handle Absalom, Absalom! I give full credit for that to the excellent interpretation of Mr. Gardner. I never had trouble following the thoughts or complicated storyline of Faulkner's masterpiece. I now believe he is a MUST READ.

    This story of a young woman's confrontation with death and her past is a poetic study of human relations.

    Story

    While I am sure there could be more entertaining readers, you just can't beat hearing an author's words read by the author herself. I found it wonderfully fascinating, and Mrs. Welty's deep southern drawl surely helps one imagine this novel.

    The fictionalized account of Louisiana's colorful and notorious governor, Huey Pierce Long, All the King's Men follows the startling rise and fall of Willie Stark, a country lawyer in the Deep South of the 1930s. Beset by political enemies, Stark seeks aid from his right-hand man Jack Burden, who will bear witness to the cataclysmic unfolding of this very American tragedy.

    Eric Berger says: "Marvelously written and read"
    "Enthralled from start to finish!"

    I am not sure what I loved more, the wonderfully spun tale by Robert Penn Warren or the exceptional interpretation and reading of Michael Emerson.
