The Graduate (Dramatised) Audiobook

" This was an easy read for me. I was in college when I read this novel after seeing the equally successful film on TV rerun. I was able to relate few years after when I had a short affair with an officemate 15 years my senior. However, there was no Elaine that ended the short affair. We just got tired of each other. Looking back, I think I was somewhat influenced by this. Well, I was very young then so it was just part of growing up. "

" Interesting story but I got so confused in the second half of the book. I didn't really know what was going on! "

" I read this at a time when my major choices in life were upcoming. Benjamin was the perfect indecisive role model to delve into. "

" Why the heck is this thing so popular? The main character can barely hold a conversation and it goes nowhere. "

" This book's opening was among the most memorable of all the books I've read. "

" good book. full of comedy i think. and good character . well, i rather choose the book than the movie. "

" learned nothing from this book, was not impressed. thought it would of been better. Unimpressed! "

" This is one of my favorite movies ever, and I own a yellowed old paperback copy of the novel that the movie is based on (a nineteenth printing from 1963). I honestly don't remember much about the novel that's different from the movie, but I do know that I enjoyed reading it in high school. "

" This is an easy read ( 2 hours) but it's not that great of a book. I read it because of the movie and song..... I would recommend breakfast at tiffany's if you want to read a book made into a movie from the 60s.... haha "

" Started out pretty mediocre, but the main character went from dull and apathetic to (absurdly) funny. Liked the ending. Hoping the film has more depth though. "

" Very, very quick read thanks to all of the dialogue. Some of the dialogue, and not necessarily the conversations with Mrs. Robinson, would be 'red flag sketchy' today. Some of it is a little unlikely as well. Still, good book and a fast read. "

" Believe it or not, I actually never saw this movie before reading this book. Thank you, Mom, for never getting cable when we were growing up. Even movies from 1960 can seem like new releases to me now! "

" Precisely written with an abundance of dark, wry humor. The dialogue is outstandingly true. "

" I didn't think much of the movie, overrated and phony. "

" How is this not about mental illness? I want the time I spent reading the be added back to my life. "

" A good story, but the writing itself was frankly terrible. The movie was far superior. "

" I felt the film was significantly stronger than the book. There are details in the book which are rightly ommited in the film and somewhere in the middle the book started to feel ordinary and rather unimpressive; weighed down by twists and details. "

" Skip the book and watch the movie. If you've already seen the movies you won't be able to get Dustin Hoffman's voice out of your head. Reads like a screenplay "

" Very much like the movie. Not complicated; just a straight forward, tell it as it happens solid read. "
