The Mystery of Edwin Drood: An Unfinished Novel by Charles Dickens Audiobook

" What can I say...Dickens is the master. If only he'd been able to finish. I feel as though he sets up clearly where he's going to go with the story...but it's hard to say with CD. Fun, engaging story. "

" Dickens' last, unfinished novel and a murder mystery of sorts, so perhaps the best criteria is to judge whether one is bereft at being forced to abandon this book midstream. Well not exactly bereft. More like faintly inconvenienced. The characters -- a sappy woman, heroic man and evil villain -- are less complex than his standard. "

" Dickens died before he could finish this. The ending has been written by many other authors. I cannot get through any of them. The difference in writing is extreme. Horrible. "

" A good book, even though it's unfinished. It surely would have been a classic Dickens if he had lived to write the ending. "

" and one goes in and the other goes away "

" Good opening scene...then it all went to hell (literally) - The London Underworld. "

" As good as Great Expectations. "

" lemme see. ma madre reccomended this so imma try to read it noww &shitfacee "

" Just as my interest is piqued, the mystery ends. "

" Found it to be difficult to get into and when you are enjoying it, it stops. Even though Dickens died before the tale was completed it is generally believed that the killer and the method of death are known. Too predictable. "

" I knew that the mystery wouldn't be solved due to Dickens' death before he finished the novel, but it was still disappointing to have it end so abruptly! "

" I got this book because it was featured in "The Last Dickens" by Matthew Pearl. It took me awhile to get used to the the sometimes archaic language but once I got past that I really enjoyed it. Too bad it's unfinished. "

" From what I have read by Dickens so far, I absolutely love this unfinished novel. "

" It would be a 5 star if there was an ending. One reason I love dickens so much is his ability to pull the entire story together and tie all loose ends with great endings. So disappointing, maybe in the afterlife I can find out what he was planning. He is genius. "

" Shifting gears from the YA novels I had been reading took a few chapters, but I love Dickens' style and caricatures. The book is only half-finished, but I enjoyed being a sleuth (and author) myself in order to imagine how I would write the rest of the book. "

" For an unfinished book this was very fun to read (being incomplete may be a major problem, but it is the only problem). Dickens' characters, story, and humor are at their best. If he had finished it this could have turned out to be one of his best! "

" Never before have I appreciated the dry, wicked humor of Charles Dickens as in this book...going to put it on my fav shelf when I'm finished... "

" I didn't realize when I started the book that it was never finished, so I was a bit confused at the end. However, what I read, I liked. I was disappointed that we'll never know the end to the story. "

" So frustrating that the book was left unfinished! "

" I planned to conclude this as an school assignment. "

" A wonderful mystery. One problem -- it is unfinished !! Not clear who did it! One thing is certain. It would have been a great ending! "

" Classic dickens with some wonderfully drawn characters; even better because unfinished. You can make up your own ending!! "

" Just getting into this book and already feel like I'm meeting an old friend. I know this is going to finish without me knowing what happened to Edwin Drood and feel so frustrated as I would love to know. Need a time machine. "
