Insightful to the last

The narrator was awesome and added a great deal to my understanding of this book. It is one of the best novels I’ve ever read. What a journey.

Classic clarity

I have embarked on a great American literature edification and decided to pick the title that literally stated my hopes. I can't believe it took me this long. I know we are all familiar with Dickens, his stories, characters and their adaptations. Bieber nothing prepared me for the sheer joy of listening first hand to his words. The language, the cadence, the thoughts expressed. I was whelmed.

Sonic sweet and sour for the soul!

Need original , classic and masterfully made words of redemption , love , pain , adventure , comedy , tragedy , mystery and romance set in 19th century England? Dickens Dickens and more Dickens I say!!

Excellent story, excellent narration.

Michael Page perfectly brings to life Dickens' dry wit and deeply human characters, lending a wondrous vivacity to this classic tale.

Narrator is perfect
