The Sound and the Fury: The Corrected Text with Faulkner's Appendix Audiobook

" finally, i find a site to buy audiobook easily. it was like 10 seconds to finish the registration n purchasing, and 10 seconds to download it. no fuss, love it! Gorver Garnder, do a good job in this presentation, clear, with a touch of south accent? (i am a foreigner, it is the best i can tell) "

" A great book which is hard to understand at first. "

" This could possibly be the greatest book ever written . . . "

" I had to read this in high school for an English class, and I remember vividly throwing the book across the room. I didn't throw the book because the writing was awful; I threw it across the room for exactly the opposite reason. I always remember this book as the first one to ever create a visceral reaction in me to a character. The fact that Faulkner was able to write in a way that made me so angry/upset with a character that I had to physically stop reading and chuck the book across the room (something that hasn't truly happened since) says everything about the book. "

" I know it's supposedly a great American classic, but I'm not a fan. Had to work way too hard to get anything out of it. "

" I liked how Faulkner made the story happen more than the story itself. "

" A mess. Did not care for the Stream of consciousness. The only characters I cared about were Jason and Benjy. Jason's POV was the only reason I didn't give it one star. Sacrilege!! How can he say this!! But to me the emperor has no clothes...at least not this time. Were this submitted today by some unknown author it would never get published. Lark and Termite, a derivative work, was far, far better. "

" This book proves the line between insanity and brilliance is fine and ragged. Faulkner's incredible. This book is not an easily read modern classic. It's serious and convoluted and requires a dedication. And, that's not even talking about the storyline (which is also trying)! But, if you can devote the time and focus read this book! It was a game-changer. "

" I struggle with Faulkner. I'm not sure why, but I have a hard time understanding his writing more than any other author I've come across. This story and the characters were very good, just hard for me to really get into. "

" I'm not a Faulkner fan but will try this again someday. "

" Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. "

" I feel about this the same way I did about Lolita: I found the story almost intolerable, but Faulkner has some magic with language. The book left me with the exhausted feeling of having called home. "

" One of the greatest novels ever. "

" Very difficult going for the first two parts, but the third and fourth parts pulled it together. Interesting read, but I probably won't read it again. This is a book to be studied, not necessarily enjoyed. "

" Horrible. A disaster. Worst thing I've ever read. "

" Still my favorite. To think that one person, the enigmatic Caddy, could be responsible for the most profound destruction of one family is mystifying. "

" Absolutely, positively the WORST book that exists on the planet. I call it The Sound of My Fury. Ahhhhhhhhh.... Truly awful. Whoever called this a "classic" must be illiterate. :) "

" not the best read for audio. feel like i need to read it by hand for full effect/appreciation. but still lovely. "

" Incredibly difficult, but good. I think it needs more than one read-through. "

" This was a great story of life and love a but challenging to read but overall I'm glad I did. I recommend this book to everyone. "

" Like plucking my eyelashes out one by one. "

" Had a really hard time with this classic. The first half of book was so dam hard to understand but the second half was much better. I had really loved Faulkners book As I Lay Dying but this one didn't do much for me even though it was suppose to be his best book. "

" ... it is hard believing to think that a love or a sorrow is a bond purchased without design and which matures willynilly and is recalled without warning to be replaced by whatever issue the gods happen to be floating at the time... "

" Not as bad as As I Lay Dying, but not my favorite either. "

" Masterpiece, inventive, rattling. None of that "look at how talented I am" crap prevalent in writers of the last 30 years. "

" The book tells story from four points of view. It may be better not on audio. The first point of view was excruciating. The rest of the book was somewhat interesting, but very hard to follow. "

" One of my favorite Modernist books, a brilliant example of experimental design in writing. "

" Classic American novel. Southern family in decline, but still aristocratic in their image. One of my favorite all-time books by one of my favorite all-time authors. "

" Amazing. Just incredible. Changed my views on literature and on life. "

" Didn't love it, but I appreciated the unique style and different points of view. It could be that I grew to dislike it more than I remember, because we beat it to death with literary theory. "

" Tale told by four different people, text for AP Eng SR yr "

" I wouldn't have understood this book unless I had read it with a book club run by an professor of literature. Having done so, it was totally worth the energy I put into it. "

" One of my favorite books I've ever read. The master! "

" Reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime got me ready to delve back into this--one I've been meaning to reread for a while and I'm finding that, having read it before, I'm getting the stream of consciousness "

" The one book I couldn't ever finish...defeated "
