I don't think audio book reading could ever be better than this. For the art of acting, reading and expressing, I would give the book a five star. The story itself is truly joyful, witty, and the kind of humor it offers will remain in readers and listeners memory for long time. It's amazing how classical work can survive the test of time!
I started the listening and could not stop till I reached the end. It felt sad when I had to part with the book, as all the good things have to end some how.

Few stories in the book were known to me before my reading, yet its so much better to know the entire big picture and see all pieces of the puzzle put together.

Currently the pharmaceutical industry and the economy as a whole has so many ailments, which should and can be cured. Each of us can help with the cure by sharing this knowledge. Some of the things mentioned in this book, is not just wrong, but outrageously wrong.

The narrator is excellent. Its hard to be distracted from her. She knows best all the points to stress, or to lighten up!

Definitely recommend!

I have difficulty in puting the rating. If I were to think of this work as a novel or a piece of art work then I would probably find it easier to rate. Those who are seeking for any element of literature or art will not find much in here. I also find the reader's voice hard for me to follow. Some time, it felt like the story loses cohenrence.
However, I could not stop. There is some compelling thing I can't name made me going through. What ever this woman was telling was true. Despite knowing that it's true, and even feeling that it's true, it's still almost impossible to envision the suffering, the cruelty that this person went through.
I could not help but cried, many times.
Reading this book I realised every human being suffers, yet, there is no limit to the number of ways of suffering as well as the pain it brings. If one cares about the goodness of human being and wants to seek the meaning of life then perhaps this shall be a worthy reading.

This book gives an impressive blend of scientific view and spiritual view on what constitutes death. I often wonder myself if human body / mind could ever possibly be started, suspended and resumed, in same fashion we can do with computers and machines. It is such a pleasant surprise that I found this discussion right here in the book. While the discussion is evidence based, which would certainly satisfy science hungry minds, Dr. Gupta successfully brings out the human aspect of life and death. The book caused me to think deeply about the ethical and scientific right(s) and wrong(s) when someone is declared death. Many of the stories are powerfully touching, particularly for those who have experienced similar challenges in life. It is worth having a hard copy of this book as well.
BTW, some people commented on the reading quality. On the contrary, I'd think if Dr Gupta were to be a teacher, those who could attend his lecture would be fortunate. Excellent reading, which keeps the audience engaged! The book is good, to the very end, with the interview conducted. I strongly recommend this book!

Beautifully read with clarity and motivation. For all those who enjoys exploring science history, this book is a must. Particularly interesting when it can relate many of the famous names in other fields, hence laying out a comprehensive view of science in particular and human history in broad sense.

Science has never been shown to me as interesting as it was in this book. Apart from all the scientific details, Stephan Hawking did a wonderful job to show the whole history of science since Aristotle until modern time. So much of the book must be read again, in slower pace so I thought I shall be looking for a hard copy as well. It's true that the reader dampened the quality of this as a whole. Yet, the content was so good that I was able to forget the performance aspect of the reader.
Would recommend the book to all age and all vocations.

This is my first reading of Richard Feynman and hence, not surprising at all, it's very interesting. Nevertheless, I must say that the collection is not well arranged. There were repetitions between chapters. If we consider the book as an interview collection, it's certainly is worthy of 5-star ranking for the content. On the other hand, if we are searching for a literature item, there are many places in the book that require improved editing or re-arrangement. My most enjoyed chapter was Mr Feynman's talk about how science should be taught.

The reader is excellent. The content ... May be it was very exciting during its time. The discussion had many good points, mainly about inheritance and co-adaptation as well as struggle for life. Nevertheless it makes some major errors in moving on to re-assert the negation of creation. It didn't explain, as it intended. One cannot say one has explained the existence of number "2" by saying that there was existence of number "1". The book failed in convincing that creationism is wrong. However, it was worthwhile reading for me.

Most people would have tasted love at some point in time, yet I wonder how many were lucky enough to feel and remember it as well as it was in Jane Eyre. Amazingly written, and so is the reading (or the acting, I should say). This book, and its audio recording shall stand the test of time for many more years.

Love the book and would recommend to all book lovers.

Choosing the unabridged version was a good choice. I could have missed out a lot if I did otherwise. It's a fairy tale, and yet, it is so real, full of life saga and wisdom. Already I knew the story through movie, and yet, the book still brought incomparable joy. After listening to the book, I decided to find myself a hard copy. The text is so poetic. I would read it again. Alexandre Dumas is unique in the way he can make us pondering about life, without having one word of dry preaching. Life comes out of his book full of love and sufferings. As it's been said, once one started, one cannot stop reading until reaching the end.

Last but not least, the narrator is truly a great one. He too, deserves a lot of credit.

Thanks Audiobook.
