The Dream Woman

De: Wilkie Collins

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

“Wake up! Wake up, there! Murder!” A hostler spits out these vehement words while he turbulently sleeps. He is haunted by a phantasm. It is a phantasm with a droop in the left eye, long flaxen hair, and a long buckhorn clasp knife.

a rip off

This program is 2 hour repeated twice. Typical of audible's carelessness. They know how to charge a lot but they don't seem to have any money for editors.

Great story-poor recording

I love Wilkie Collins stories and this is right up there with the best. The narration is very good and keeps you entertained. However the recoding quality is very poor, sections repeat themselves for no apparent reason and makes the story hard to follow. Maybe another version??

Narrator ruined the story for me

I truly enjoy the work of Wilkie Collins but to be quite honest, the story was ruined by the narrator. There’s usually a lot of substance to his stories and typically you have to pay close attention in order to piece it all together. And although this narrator has a pleasant voice, it’s not particularly suited to this type of narrative. It kind of just lulled me into a state of boredom and my mind wandered. I tried to restart the book several times but it continued to happen. As I already know I enjoy the author and his writing style, I’m afraid it can only be the narrator’s voice that wasn’t right for me. I’ going to see if there is another recording of the same book but with a different narrator. I think I’ll enjoy it much more then.

Well I'm happy

What very interesting and well written short story. I was surprised by the ending but oddly satisfied.

doubled?

the story repeats itself, if you listen to this book in its entirety you will hear the story twice. you may wish to fix that
