classic Dracula story

outstanding narrative by both narrators, I have listened to this book at least 5 times now and it still is a great story to listen to again and again.

Just wow

I cannot say much more than that. The characters, the narrators. The story came alive in a way I never expected. I am sure there are many amazing audio narrations of this story- but I have no doubt this one is among the best.

Voice acting

Great voice acting and accents. The emotions were very clear and well executed. I forgot it was only two people

A classic performed wonderfully!!!

I will admit that I had to make some adjustments in order to get the best personal experience from this book (listened to at %85 speed) but once I settled in and became familiar with the tempo this was a pleasure to hear.

Welcome to my house

I recently read this version all the way through and I have to say that this reading of Dracula is excellent. Greg wise is one of the best reader I've ever heard narrating this book. His performance far surpasses the performers in the audible addition and blackstone addition, and is on par with those in the naxos audio addition. Under wise, each of the male characters have their own unique voice. My personal favorites were Van helsing and Quincy Morris.
The only English reader that rivals wise when doing a southern american accent is Jamie Parker in the Naxos Audio version of Dracula.
I cannot forget Saskia reeves. Her reading was good, but it took me a while to get used to her style. Nevertheless, she lends her own unique voice to Mina and Lucy. She is also excellent at the souther american accent when she reads the lines by Quincy and is one of the few females able to pull it off.
I judged this book, compared to the recorded books version I read many years ago. I have to say this reading blew recorded books out of the water.
In summary, if you're looking for a version of Dracula to read, this one is excellent.

The Original and Best Vampire Tale

I love horror stories and in particular Vampire tales. Dracula is the original and quite simply best vampire tale ever.
Greg Wise and Saskia Reeves do Dracula full justice in their reading. Their English accents work well in the Novel, as does Greg doing all the Male parts with Saskia the female. For me this is best rendition of one of my favourite Novels.

unique actors

I enjoyed that there were multiple voice actors for each point of view. it made each part more distinct from the last

What a beautifully written story!!

This is nothing like what we have come to expect of a vampire story. This is a beautiful story written in a time when virtue,values and morals were valued and heroism & bravery was just more than what you did, it was about thoughts and ideas that led to heroic deeds. A classic story that describes a world with a villain and yes the best monster of all time but more importantly it describes the best of men and women's hearts in the face of evil. I absolutely loved this story and the narrator's voice was perfect for it!

Good classic, great performance!

the performance was amazing! it really kept me engaged and painted the story well. the story itself is very dense, but a good classic nonetheless.

Wow!

This book can be very dark, but is inspiring and easier to listen to because of the great reading!
