Lord Jim (Abridged) Audiobook

" the book everybody should read beforer opening their mouth to criticize the lives of others. "

" Interesting book on the nature of courage and self-image. Conrad's style is very unique, but I don't like it nearly as much as I used to. While the prose is very well written, I just find Marlowe long-winded after a while. I wanted to give this book a much higher rating, but I just found a lot of the non-essential plot points to be kind of a drudgery. "

" One of my favorite Joseph Conrad stories, "Lord Jim" is a densely plotted tale of cowardice and redemption. "

" This book was literally painful to read! It had such a great premise. Someone should rewrite it. Lord Jim could make a great movie if it made more sense. I never quite knew who was talking and what exactly they were talking about!!! So much potential--what a shame. "

" Spectacular read. Looking rough and living strange; ending up in all the unlikely places, unharmed and unaffected, guarded by never-wilting, impeccable faith. "

" Not for lazy reading....worth it. Great classic and darn good story. "

" A bit tedious to read. "

" My High school English teacher always claimed that Lord Jim in a hero, but I still maintain that he is an anti-hero. I won't write me essay here, but I enjoyed the book. "

" A great adventure along the river. Made for dreaming. "

" Very captivating. One of the best books I have read. Recommend it to anyone. "

" it's a classic. nuff said. "

" I probably should not mark this as "read", since I only got to page 13 and then hurled it across the room. "

" The story of my life. "

" less than wht i expected ... it gets tiresome with conrads over excessively precise and correct english .. the story jus moves on and on ... i cud also blame my lack of understanding more than conrads way of writing .. ! "

" Liked it better than Heart of Darkness! "

" Anyone who manages to finish reading this deserves an award. "

" I threw it across the room when I finshed, screaming, "NEVER AGAIN!", startling all the kids in my silent reading period. "

" One of those books I skipped in college, with good reason: it is infernally long. It's also, however, quite good. "

" Ahh yes....the scene where he is staring at the bulkhead and thinking of all the pilgrims on board. The Moment of choice. "

" this book started off awesome, but the second half drags a little bit. "

" Abandoned! Whew, just could not do it. "

" Not for lazy reading....worth it. Great classic and darn good story. "

" One of those books I skipped in college, with good reason: it is infernally long. It's also, however, quite good. "

" certainly a very good book. not an easy read. appreciated it better once I'd finished it ;-) Very romantic shakespearian theme of guilt. "

" I get why you're important. I get that Conrad did a lot of brand new things here. I get that the shifting narrative structure is absurdly ambiguous and comments on unreliability in literature. What I don't get is why you had to be so boring about it, Joseph. "

" Only book I had trouble reading. I don't know how many times I started this book before I could actually finish it. "
