The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, originally published in 1876, was the first novel written on a typewriter. Mark Twain's lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls (especially Beck Thatcher) with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River.

When the dashing young D'Artagnon arrives in Paris from Gascony, he becomes embroiled in three duels with the Three Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.

Now, in yet another virtuosic performance, the actor proves that despite being separated by a span of over a century, his connection to the author and his work is undeniable and that theirs is a timeless collaboration that should not be missed.

The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful but slowly going under - maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

Over the course of the novella, the seemingly shallow Holly slowly opens up to the curious protagonist.

A sad disappointment
Having first been introduced to Anne of Green Gables by the TV series starring Megan Follows, I was very excited to listen to this version of the book. While Megan Follows does a good job narrating the story, this version is very poorly abridged and produced. This was a real disappointment and I strongly recommend avoiding this version. I gave it one star because Audible requires at least one but I would say that this one deserves zero stars.

1984 Megan Follows Is Anne Shirley. Period.
Would you consider the audio edition of Anne of Green Gables to be better than the print version?
Two different apples.
What other book might you compare Anne of Green Gables to and why?
None.
What does Megan Follows bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Megan Follows has morphed in my mind to be Anne Shirley. Having her narrate this abridged version in 85' was the right voice at the right time.
Who was the most memorable character of Anne of Green Gables and why?
Anne Shirley.

I Wish This was Unabridged...
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. It was almost like one of those autobiography read by that person. I just wish it had been the complete book. Unfortunately so much of the story is left out in this edition.
Would you ever listen to anything by L. M. Montgomery again?
Yes I have all of the Anne and Avonlea books that are available already.
What does Megan Follows bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Megan Follows (who played Anne in the Sullivan Entertainment movies) reading Anne of Green Gables was like Anne herself telling the story.
Was Anne of Green Gables worth the listening time?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Megan Follows needs to do the full Unabridged version of all of the Anne books.

The story is a classic and Megan Follows does every bit as outstanding a job as she did in the movie. Alas the sound quality is dreadful and they music overlay overwhelms the narration. Also the recording repeats itself in at least one spot. Great story and performance, piss poor engineering.

Cassette Recording, Still lovely
This is the same recording I listened to on cassette when I was a kid so the quality and the music at the end of the chapters didn't bother me. It sounds like a cassette, not very crisp and I had to slow the pace down to 90% but Meagan Follows is amazing and I couldn't imagine hearing the story from anyone other than her.

Megan Fellows's is the perfect person to narrate this book! But unfortunately audible's copy of Anne of Green Gables skips huge chunks from L.M. Montgomery's novel! Very disappointing.
What didn’t you like about Megan Follows’s performance?
