Reviews


(5 stars)

Fifth time listening to this masterpiece, excellently read by Mr. David Clarke. Best story of all time!

Wait and Hope


(5 stars)

"The sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope." I had an excellent time on this journey with Dumas. My favorite parts were these reflections on the human experience, which made my mind tingle in excitement. The presentation is marvelous in ways otherwise stated in these reviews. Many thanks to Mr Clarke and the Librivox team, for making this classic read so enjoyable. Thanks for reading my brief review, and take good care. ~ S

Outstanding

I started this book with another recording, and when I ran out of time on the download switched to this. I had made a mistake not starting with this one. This recording is far superior, a delight, and has been a wonderful companion to my morning barn chores for weeks. I am at a loss as to what to do tomorrow, I will miss this wonderful story so much.

Amazing


(5 stars)

I couldn't stop listening and I was mesmerized with the way the Count revenged himself. He had thought of everything. I now want to get the book and read it by myself.


(5 stars)

It was a bit hard to get into it but once you get past some chapters. You will find any enchanted treasure. One that at times has you in the happiest please but just as soon brings the shock of an unexpected events. I would listen to this book several times if I had the time. It truly is well deemed to be a classic. The characters are wonderfully described and wonderfully develop through the store. I would recommend the store to anyone of my friends who need a book to read or listen too.


(5 stars)

incredibly suspenseful and amazing book. I really enjoyed the reading by the Englishman who resides in Texas and I am looking forward to starting the book over again as it was a very long book And I am sure there were things I missed.

If only Edmond Dantès had remained Edmond Dantès...


(5 stars)

These five stars are wholly for the narrator. The books starts out promisingly but by about chapter 56 I had given up and read a synopsis. However, a standing ovation is in order for the talent and time that David Clarke gave to this book. Merci.

Outstanding! Simply outstanding!!
