Don Quixote

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels that he decides to set out to revive chivalry, under the name Don Quixote.

It's great. I recommend it

Love this book. I listened to it for a book report, and I was happy with the outcome! I have told my friends about this book Lol.

Great narration of Text

As an English major, I was familiar with the story of Don Quixote. I had read parts of the book for class, but never the entire book. I have a new appreciation for this text after listening to the audio version. This book is hilarious and I can imagine it was ahead of its time when it was originally published in 1605 and 1615.
Quixote has a mental break-down after reading too many novels about chivalrous knights and sets out on his own knightly quest. Quixote sees what he wants to see (like a castle and a noble family instead of an inn and the innkeepers family). He meets each situation through chivalrous-colored glasses and that doesn't always bode well with the people or situations around him. There are so many one-liners from Quixote that made me laugh out loud. I listened to the very end to hear what befell Quixote at the end of his adventures.
The narration was perfect for the story and easy to listen to.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

mesmerising!

this book is such a precious piece of art, regardless of time it shines thru history!
i'm mesmerised with Don Quijote's valor, and his endless dream world.

the narration is very well done. I could feel that Don Quijote is speaking and acting right in front of me!

p.s. i recommend this audible version!

I loved it it just left me wishing for more of goofy Don Quixote and all his valiance with his gullible squire Sancho

A Great Adventure

Excellent telling with a talented voice actor. The characters really came to life and I would recommend this version to anyone.
