Lilith

De: George MacDonald

Narrado por: Rebecca K. Reynolds

It is the story of Mr. Vane, an orphan and heir to a large house - a house in which he has a vision that leads him through a large old mirror into another world. In chronicling the five trips Mr. Vane makes to this other world, MacDonald hauntingly explores the ultimate mystery of evil.

slow reader but excellent book esp. near the end

Really enjoyed listening to this story of redemption and last things, was not at all what I was expecting and now I am unlikely to ever forget a number of the scenes. The book is allegory and philosophy and theology much heavier than I anticipated, with a tiny amount of adventure to carry the plot forward. I will be listening to more of MacDonald's books.

Amazing

Loved the whole book. If you are a disciple of Jesus this book will blow you away.

narration is exquisite

the title tells all I have to say about the performance. audible requires these words.

Narrated as if a children's book...

...which it is not. Such annoying ticks of narration: the half-chuckle (unconnected to meaning), the pause as if searching for the right word (??), the kindergarten voicing.... I stopped and bought the other narration available on Audible. (Gotta see if I can return it for credit.)

I need cliff notes

I love CS Lewis and know this author and book influenced him. I enjoyed the way it was written but know I did not graps the deeper meaning. Even on the surface it was enjoyable and worth listening to more than once to reveal the layers within.
