Reviews


(5 stars)

Narrator was top notch! Very easy to listen to. She has total control of her voice inflections and has just enough drama to keep story engaging. Thank you for a job well done. Bravo!

what a great classic!


(5 stars)

I have never read this book and decided to give it a shot and boy it is incredible what a stupendous Adventure! It is non-stop action from start to finish and the narrator does an incredible job and funnily enough I laughed out loud about 3 times during the narrative some funny stuff happens most definitely worth your time

Interesting.


(4 stars)

This story is very interesting in the matter that it takes an realistic approach of the question, what would you do if you were Invisible. it surely is not smooth sailing, as one would think. There are consequences unforeseen. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to all the people interested in the possibilities of Invisibility.

Great reading


(5 stars)

While not the best of Wells' novels, the Invisible Man is very engaging and keeps you listening all the way through. The reader did an excellent job and I'm looking forward to listening to more of her work!


(4.5 stars)

Always a pleasure. This time the underdog stood out more—sympathetically I mean. The misfortune of the accidental invisibility seemed a terrible act of fate upon Griffin. Perhaps the moral is a prohibition against unfettered inquiry? Superb reader as always!

Highly Enjoyable, If Dark, Story


(5 stars)

This reading is perfectly paced and the characters--and fast-moving plot--are vividly brought to life. I am so grateful to the reader for donating her voice talents.
