Only with a little more introspection to the characters. If you enjoyed the movie then I'd suggest purchasing the audiobook as well. Overall enjoyable and Simon Vance is always an excellent narrator.

No doubt the general idea of the story is a good one, but if you're used to the myriad of adaptions that have been made for the big screen I suggest you stick with those. I personally find Alice's character annoying and while the characters are intriguing I don't care for the main character. The narration is excellent and perhaps that's the one redeaming quality for this book.

If you've never read the book this is a good taste of what's to come. The story really gets you thinking and it's well worth the buy. I'd still settle for the book though.

If you've only ever watched the animated movie as I had, then I sincerely suggest you purchase this book as well. Though the movie follows the story fairly accurately, the movie is no substitute for the book. You learn more of the characters and understand their psychology all the better by listening to this marvelous tale. The fact that it's narrated by the author himself is an added bonus. You can really hear how he intended the characters to sound, and that can make all the difference.

I'm admittedly not very interested in financial drama, so the start of the book was very slow for me. I loved Simon Vance's reading of the book and as the story progressed I started to love it more and more. Lisbeth Salander is a very interesting character and you can bet I'll be purchasing the last two books in the series.

It was probably my own mistake to purchase this audiobook. I already own the physical book and I bought this with high expectations. I love the 'sound' of the narrators voice in my head when I physically read the book, so I was really disappointed that the audiobook didn't match that narration nor did it come close. If you've never read the book and are interested in the otherwise wonderful story then I strongly suggest purchasing it. If you have read the book and have your own idea's about what it should sound like then by all means save your money, save a credit, and find something else to spend your evenings listening to.

If you've never read or listened to a single Neil Gaiman novel before then this is a great start. The plot is catching, and you come to love Shadow almost from the very beginning. The vignette's are one of the best parts and only add to an already wonderfully told story. The reading is excellent and the voice articulation is superb. You can honestly believe that different characters are talking.

I strongly suggest that this novel finds a place in your library.

I've personally never enjoyed the written version of A Christmas Carol. For some reason I've just never gotten into the writing and I was hoping that as an audiobook it may finally catch my attention. Unfortunately Tim Curry's soothing voice only added to my boredom, and I found his attempts at a female voice grating. If you are however a fan of the story and a fan of Tim Curry then by all means purchase this audiobook. Otherwise I'd suggest saving your money and opting for the various movie productions of this classic tale.

I'm not much of Stephen King fan, but this novel had my attention from the start! The story is fast paced and always has you wondering what's going to happen to those people "Under the Dome". I'm not personally sure how I feel about the ending, but over all this book is definitely worth a listen. Raul Esparza does a wonderful job narrating his voice acting is flawless and each person gets their own special personality. In a book with so many players this makes it wonderfully easy to keep track. Trust me you will not want to stop listening. Whether your at work, in the car, or taking a shower you will want to hear this coming from your speakers or headphones.
