Publisher's Summary
"Macintosh" is a taut psychological study of two officials on a remote tropic island. "The Fall of Edward Barnard" is a brief bildungsroman about what is important in life, a pre-cursor to Maugham's well known novel, The Razor's Edge. Of course, love is always a subject of the tropics, and Maugham's deft, ironic handling of the theme in "Red" and "Honolulu" is masterful. But it is "The Pool" that tells a poignant and tragic tale about the pitfalls for love across cultures. His most famous story, "Rain", about the ironic consequences of obsession, was adapted for both theater and film.

"The Trembling of a Leaf"
I'm afraid the reader Frederick Davidson(David Case) made it impossible to complete this book. There were many words slurred and impossible to understand. It's as if this reader has now had a stroke or some other debilitating speech impediment. I feel compelled to write this review because I am such a fan of audiobooks and audible and I would hate to think someone would buy this book and get turned off from audiobooks and or audible. Audible please consider removing this book from your Library - you have so many wonderful books, why taint it.

"Weird and rambling"
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?I use this book to help me get to sleep. It's very disconnected.
Would you be willing to try another book from W. Somerset Maugham? Why or why not?I don't think I'll be trying another Maugham novel.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?The narration is fine.
Do you think The Trembling of a Leaf needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?No, it doesn't need a follow-up. It needs a guide book.
Any additional comments?It's so disappointing to use points and not like the book.
