Summary

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." So begins this classic, one of the most beloved novels of all time. Charles Dickens brings the French Revolution to life through such vivid characters as Charles Darnay, the Old Doctor, Sydney Carton and Lucy Manette. The action peaks with the storming of the Bastille, the dreaded symbol of government authority. And the blade of La Guillotine falls again...

Stunning

Would you listen to A Tale of Two Cities [Recorded Books] again? Why?

Definitely. Obviously it's a classic story but Muller, once again, delivers the goods on the narration. He brings it to life, gives it subtle emotion in the right places, and at other times sounds like he's channeling Richard Burton. It's wonderful stuff.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Tale of Two Cities [Recorded Books]?

The opening and closing sentences.

Which character – as performed by Frank Muller – was your favourite?

Madame Defarge. Not a lady to get on the wrong side of :)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The closing passage.

Audio Quality Muffled, Rendering Telling Hopeless

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Great Story, but sadly Audio from 1986 is muffled beyond any hope of Enjoyment.The 1987 Great Expectations is fine, & that is what you sample in the bundle. Audible must clean this Recording as it sounds like a bootleg tape.

What other book might you compare A Tale of Two Cities [Recorded Books] to, and why?

Worst recorded Sound Ever experienced from Audible.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

One can barely hear him

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger at being Swindled by the 'bundle'

Any additional comments?

What happened to Quality Control???
