The Prisoner of Zenda Audiobook

" that book told me that the creativity of thinking started since old time "

" Good book. Got part-way through and never finished it, which is lame. I need to get on the case... "

" I hadn't heard of this book until recently when I came across it by chance. It isn't very long, but the story is very entertaining. I read this on my Kindle, and I loved it so much that I decided I needed a copy for my library. This would be great for boys or girls middle school aged and up. "

" Wonderful adventure story with a dash of romance thrown in. "

" We have succumbed and bought a kindle so I took the opportunity to indulge in some free escapism. I last read this book when a teenager and remember being entranced by the dashing hero. He is no less dashing but the whole thing has dated a bit. It is a bit harder to accept the deficiencies of the plot which include managing to persuade everyone that you are someone else for three months -not just someone else but a king of a different nationality. However it still makes a good read if you don't think about it too hard. "

" An old-fashioned adventure tale, with all that implies. Fun and enjoyable, even if the main characters' actions often made no sense, and were clearly happening just to keep the plot jogging along. "

" it was very good! a quick and easy read and while the women in the book often made me angry because they were so....weak and stupid really (i really had to keep in mind it was written by a man and the time in which it was written)....it really was a very good book overall. very entertaining :D "

" I loved this book! It is smart, funny, romantic and swashbuckling all at once. I was either surprised, delighted or brought to tears by every chapter. It deserves to be more well known than it is. "

" What every classic adventure should be. "

" I just re-read this book for Book Club. Wow how fun! I really enjoy this kind of adventure book. The hero is unrealistically amazing, but I think that adds to the fun. "

" LOVED this book! Despite not really appreciating old english, I zipped through this one because of the riveting, action packed story and Anthony Hope's adequately-descriptive-yet-not-tiresome narrative style. The story is simple and predictable but for once, I didn't see this as a shortcoming in a book. It actually added to the charm, replete with themes of royalty, intrigue in the king's court, deception, honour, forbidden love, look-alikes and valour. Think I will now watch the movie... it has got to be a masala pot boiler! :) "

" I remembered hearing my mom talk about this book all growing up and only now did I decide to pick it up. It was different than I expected, but it was super interesting and engaging! There is adventure and intrigue and you come to really appreciate and respect the main character and hope for the best. I highly recommend this book, it isn't super long so should be a quick read. "

" The integrity of the main characters is inspiring. I think it would be great for teenagers to read. "

" For books like these, all I can say is "Perfection". "

" Good book. Got part-way through and never finished it, which is lame. I need to get on the case... "

" classic story. Sharadindu adapted this in his "jhinder bandi". "

" Many old books need to be read in the context of the year written. An average tail in today's sense but probably a good story telling 100 years ago. Truly an adventure and a love story. "

" This was our bookclub book this month, and I was grateful for something different. Fast read, I just wish the characters had a little more development. "

" This was a best seller when it was first published in 1894....guess escapism didn't start in the 20th century. Great read, no brain cells required. "

" A very fun swashbuckling tale of a man mistaken for a King and then forced to play the part to rescue the real King. Told from the first person and with just the right amount of swagger and braggadocio, so as to make you wonder if it really did happen or if the narrator is pulling your leg. "

" Pretty much my favourite adventure book of all time. "

" I just loved this book! I stayed up late, til my eyes were burning, to finish it. Action, humor, love - this book has it all! I was able to download it on my Kindle, so now I can read it anytime I want. Definitely one I will read again and again. "

" The integrity of the main characters is inspiring. I think it would be great for teenagers to read. "

" What every classic adventure should be. "

" This was a surprisingly delightful swashbuckling adventure that I read through in one sitting. Charming. "

" A fun old classic I finally read. Enjoyed it for what it was. "

" I loved this book, it had you guessing to the very end, Rudolf was a very honorable man and I loved how it ended, though rather sad, but I admire it. The book is well written and very exciting. I would recommend it to anyone who loves old tales of galantry and courage. "

" A cousin who might become king? Though stiffly written, "said I," it is still a great romantic adventure. "

" I read this because my dad said it was his favorite book. An excellent adventure! Noble heroes, vile villains, a beautiful maiden, and lots of swashbuckling. "

" One of my very favorite books. "

" I love this book! Some of the descriptive paragraphs lost me because of the language used. The characters are endearing and it is a fun read! "

" Nice, well-written, light adventure stuff. "

" Swashing and buckling, bought half for the shiny cover, but oh so genuinely entertaining. Simply indulgent, but there's nothing bad in that. Every page keeps you reading with more focus and speed because you know what will happen next yet don't want it spoiled. I love a red-headed hero. "

" I liked it..love,conspiracy,adventure,valour,sacrifice,royalty..all in one..:) "

" Haven't read anything like this for a long time. Light weight but refreshing. "

" Loved this book! Such a classic adventure story and so devastatingly marvelous! "

" it was an interesting book and was filled with suspense. "

" it's a great book the kind of books that makes you want to read again and again and again i loves it because the story is beautiful and simple and interested in the same time i hoppe you reed it and love it like i did "

" Pretty much my favourite adventure book of all time. "

" If there's on genre I keep loving no matter how many I read or how old I get, it's adventure books. This is one of the first, and if you can't come away from this liking the improbably named Rudolf Rassendyll well, then, I feel sorry for you. Rassendyll forever! "

" Every once in a while I give in to one of these THREE MUSKETEERS type adventure stories that pretends to be literature. They always disappoint. An entertaining book, not at all bad, but I wanted it to be more. "

" The ending fell a little flat, but overall it was an enjoyable read. As many times as this story has been told over the years, I liked reading one of the originals. "

" i liked the easy-going language.though i wondered Rodelf was a such a nobel man who sacrificed for the sake of the king! "

" I loved this book! The old movie rendition is pretty good. "

" Loved this book! Such a classic adventure story and so devastatingly marvelous! "

" Maybe too low-brow for me, but a fun read nonetheless. Unbelievable plot and characters, but you take it for what it is. "

" Loved the book, loved both the new and the old films. A real swashbuckler. "

" Nice story... also for teens... "

" This book will swash your buckle so hard you won't know what hit you. It's a brilliantly told tale that never stops moving, keeping you in anticipation of the next move and in sympathy with its very likeable main character. I have read better books, but never one more enjoyable. "

" Swashbuckling heroes before the era of cellphones. What's not to love? "

" Not as good as the Flashman version, but essential background none the less. "

" Very enjoyable swashbuckling adventure. Plenty of action, subterfuge and skullduggery. Well worth a read. "

" I have no idea why i hate this book so much.I thought it was very predictable and boring and...well maybe you should read it and decide for yourself "

" I picked it up because I felt it was an adventure classic that I thought I should read. Not what I expected and I thoroughly enjoyed being surprised by it. "

" -sniffle- That was so beautiful! And sad. And wonderful. Really, I have no words other than "Read this book!" "

" I'm normally not at all interested in a romantic novel but this was so action packed that I loved it from start to finish. I had read it before, as a school assignment, but found that this time, since I read it for pleasure, it was so much more enjoyable. "

" This swashbuckler was delightfully fun and well-written. I am curious to see what becomes of the diabolically suave Rupert Hentzau in Hope's sequels to The Prisoner of Zenda, and his ill-fated love affair with Princess Flavia. "

" I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK , BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW THE ELABORATION & FREEDOM OF MIND CAN PASS ANY PHYSICAL BARRIER LIKE A PRISON "

" What? How is this book rated so lowly? This was AMAZING. Granted, my 5-star rating is freely given, but I've read this book several times, and I will again. Adventure, love, intrigue, loyalty, sword-fighting, sneaking around... not sure why you wouldn't love this book. First read in 7th grade. :) "

" Actually a very good book. I ran across it after seeing the old movie and enjoyed the somewhat contrived plot immensely. Haven't found the sequel yet. "

" I just loved this book! I stayed up late, til my eyes were burning, to finish it. Action, humor, love - this book has it all! I was able to download it on my Kindle, so now I can read it anytime I want. Definitely one I will read again and again. "

" Such a fun adventure! I read this forever ago, and had seen the movie around the same time... but it was a blast rediscovering the cunning and charisma of Rudolf Rassendyll. Highly recommend! "

" A good book except for the ending (that is what lowered it to two stars). "

" A nice little book. Could have done with a bit more fleshing-out, however. Some of the fight scenes were very confusing but other than these little flaws, the book was an enjoyable read. "
