Publisher's Summary

"Araby" is one of the stories from Joyce's masterpiece, The Dubliners. As is the case with all the stories in the book, it culminates in an "epiphany".

    I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.

    "Evocative Short Story with Good Narration"

    This is a superior short story by Joyce. It is evocative of the life and feelings of the young man protagonist. The characters are very pleasant. The narration was very good, but I could deal with a little more Irish accent. In the most quickly read sections the narrator falls into the rhythm of the writing, but when the reader slows down the rhythm becomes suppressed. Still a great story with very good narration, well worth the 95 cents.

    What did you like about this audiobook?

    Listening instead of ready, not as much time used. Clear audio and ease of use.


    How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

    Imagination made the book come alive as you listen to the speaker read. Enjoyed being able to imagine as the speaker read the words.


    Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

    Very much so, I am satisfied with the clear speaking voice of the presenter.


    What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

    Nothing, very clear speaking voice.


    Do you have any additional comments?

    Enjoyed the book very much.
