Barnaby Rudge, Volume I Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A plod and the women are awful. "

" A little slow at times but still a good book. "

" when i started reading dickens, i had never even heard of this one. and maybe my 2nd or 3rd favourite of what i've read so far "

" Discovered an episode of English history of which I was ignorant, interesting story which kept me reading. "

" This is my favorite of all the Dickens books. I don't know why, but I read it in 9th grade, and it haunted me like no other book of its kind. I have reread it two times since, and I still feel this way. And it amazes me that no one ever mentions this book when talking about Dickens. That baffles me. "

" A sometimes overlooked Dickens classic. The description of the Gordon riots is a remarkable piece of writing. "

" Fantastic story! My wife and I read this together and absolutely loved it. Charles Dickens has got to be the best author to capture the true nature of man in all of his goodness or in his depravity. Barnaby and Grip make a great duo. This is a must-read for Dickens fans. "

" There has never been a riot committed to paper like Dickens manages here - the riots of '80! "

" Enjoyed the historical setting of the London riots. "

" Excellent and timely. Dickens was a great storyteller. "

" interesting picture of gordon riots, with dickens usual grotesques "

" This was my last Dickens novel to read and I was sort of sad to let it go. It stands as strong as any of them. On to the Christmas stories, travel essays, and starting back again with Oliver Twist and Great Expectations. "

" It was a historical perspective on the Protestant riots in England. It wasn't the greatest Dickens book that I have read, but it was decent. "

" I enjoyed this book very much. I didn't fall in love with it as much as with some of Dickens' other books, but like all his work it was full of tragedy, comedy and colorful characters. Definitely recommended. "

" This is a very long book so I decided to go with the Dovegreyreaders recommendation of the Sean Barrett narrated version in audio book form and he was terrific, really bringing the book alive. "

" It's too draggy I can't finish it. Will leave it for a while. "

" I should learn my lesson and read this one chapter at a time, like his readers did. Will try it with the next book. "

" Not terribly interesting. Hard to feel anything for the protagonists. Dickens was a master but not every book is a gem. "

" There has never been a riot committed to paper like Dickens manages here - the riots of '80! "

" A sometimes overlooked Dickens classic. The description of the Gordon riots is a remarkable piece of writing. "
