Loved it!

One of my favorites. Nadia May did a super job of reading the different parts. This is my second time listening.

Good Listen

Have you listened to any of Nadia May’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nadia May is always great to listen to. She is clear and is always sensitive to the authors nuances and has a good grasp of the play of dialogue, being able to bring it off the page. She understands the era she narrates and thus her renderings are always good.

Reread after many years

I read this book in the 9th grade, and only remembered the remarkable ending, and that I liked the book. So now, many years later, I listened to it read by Nadia May, and fell in love with the story again. What a lesson this story teaches us! If you have never read it, put it on your bucket list.

Unusual but very good.

Silas is a very unconventional protagonist. He struggled to live humbly in a sometimes hostile and unfair world.

Great, but...

This is a fairly good reading of Eliot's novel, however, I would avoid buying it solely to avoid Nadia May's ghastly rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"!! What was she thinking? What was the producer thinking allowing it!?
