Last Request: A Victorian Gothic

Last request is a short story set in Victorian England. It centers around a young woman, Anna, in the care of her aunt and takes place shortly after her uncle's death. The story starts during the reading of his last will and testament where the uncle makes an unusual request. While all the other family members are aghast, she is determined to fulfill her beloved uncle's request.

Last Request: A Victorian is a very enjoyable short story. The narrator does a lovely job. It is an ideal story to listen to on a dark and stormy night.

This book was gifted to me by Audiobook Blast in exchange for an unbiased review.

This was a most enjoyable read. I like the gothic feel of the book and the narration was spot on.

Fun, Creepy, Gothic. Kind of taking the easy way out here but those do compose nearly the entire story.

I really liked the writing in general, behind the plot and everything that happened there was a level of writing that fit perfectly with the gothic theme and the masterpiece works of that genre from a century ago. With that done so well, the rest of it was just that much better.

I really appreciated how understandable she was throughout, and how she seemed to accentuate the positive points of the work. The fact that her voice is pleasant and has just enough personality to keep it from being ordinary didn't hurt either.

It's Bad Luck Not To Honor a Last Request

I received this for free in exchange for an honest review and would honestly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in the genre or just in attempting to be exposed to different literature. I know that personally I'll be looking at other works by Chapman and Page as well.

Caprisha Page has done a wonderful delivery.

You MUST listen to this!

I thoroughly enjoyed Last Request. Not only was it very well written, Jeff has a wonderful turn of phrase. I have never come across so many exceptionally surprising descriptions ; "plunged him into a cold bath of loneliness" , "the open shears yawing toward the organist", ... The story was so enthralling it was hard to believe that a whole 1 1/2 hr. had passed rather than just a few minutes. Caprisha Page's clear and enunciated voice - with just a touch of an accent - provided a perfect delivery. Unfortunately as I am older now I may not have time to read or listen to all the books from a few authors Audible and Kobo have introduced me to. I was gifted this audio book by audioblastdotcom for an unbiased review. An Evi review

I really enjoyed this little tale. I received a free copy of the audiobook. It was a quick, entertaining listen, and it made me chuckle darkly right from the beginning with the request for decapitation. The characters were delightful and well-rounded. Well done for a short read, with a touch of spooky and a touch of grim humor.

If you can't handle a bit of gore, then this might not be for you. Otherwise, I'd say try this out if dark suits your style.

I liked the unusual premise and the attention to detail. It really felt like I was in Victorian times, complete with dour guardian, straight-necked vicar, and precocious young heroine. It had some genuinely creepy moments where I wondered what in the world would happen. However it wasn't gory or over the top hysterical, both of which I liked.

The ending was satisfying, although I expected it quite a bit earlier than it actually came.

A delightful performance by a skilled narrator. Caprisha Page has an unusual accent which really adds interest and enjoyability to the story. Highly recommended!

I found the story overly long - it could have benefited from cutting out a good 25% of it, if not more. There was a tendency to reveal certain plot points too early and easily, which made me impatient for them to come up.Still, an overall enjoyable listen and one which I would recommend.

Humor and British accent (loved the narrator!)

It was funny, and I like funny. It was clever, and I like clever. The narrator was adorable and portrayed all the different characters well.

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Looking at my review, I see that I didn't offer much. Here's the deal, the writing was great. I love to reward that with stars! The narration was perfect. More stars! I just wasn't in the mood, I guess. I'm going to let my teenaged sons listen to it because I bet they'll love it.
