The Woman in White (Dramatized) (Abridged) Audiobook

" Well, I got two copies of "The Woman in White" today. One for me and one for my wife. They are two different editions though. They were the only copies available at the Half Price Book store I went too. I hope this is going to be a good one. "

" Perfectly good book, Count Fosco is an excellent villan. It's just too contrived for my tastes and has yet another insipid Victorian wife. "

" One of my favorite classics, probably read around 1990. The story plot, the suspense, the romance --you name it, this book has it. Sigh..where are books like these, these days? "

" It was a good. Took a while to get into the plot. "

" Good story -- told from different perspectives, but could have been about 100 pages shorter. "

" I read a lot of Wilkie Collins in grad school. His other book--No Name--a real thriller, is on my book list. I believe I liked it even more than The Woman in White. He's a very visual writer and does some startling things with the language to help you see his characters and their surroundings. "

" The first great 'sensation' novel(thriller), written by an author who was a contemporary of Charles Dickens, this is an absorbing, engaging and accessible novel, with a menacing atmosphere and a clever twist. Continuously in print since it first came out, in the 1860's. "

" Surprisingly readable and intriguing story. Takes some time, due to the length, but worth it. Maybe some Dickens after this? "

" Was amazing - far better than I expected. I was drawn into it from the start, and the ending was satisfying (which is always a worry in stories where there's lots of tension at the beginning). I recommend to all. "

" It was very long but was worth reading for sure. There were so many unexpected twists and turns. I don't typically like mysteries but this was a good one. I think I give it 3 1/2 stars. "

" Loved this book and loved Count Fosco...so deliciously wicked. Ever since I read this book, I've wanted a big, fat, white cat that I could name 'Count Fosco'. "

" A top ten favorite. Thank you Michael Crawford and Andrew Lloyd-Webber. "

" way to melodramatic for me. "

" This is one of the greatest books I believe. There was not a single page in the book where I felt I was bored. Marian Halcombe and Count Fosco were the two characters I really loved. Then, Walter Hartright and Anne Catherick. "

" I enjoyed the writing, the time period, and the characters ... but it did seem to drag on a bit. "

" I read this right after reading Fingersmith and I will never forgive Sarah Waters for ripping off Collins and spoiling the ending. "

" Absolutely fantastic read. Captivating and scandalous for its time. Well thought out, organized and attentive to the reader. A must read for all ages!!! This book surpasses my previous favorite and moves to #1 Classic. "

" Absolutely amazing.....I loved it! Wilkie Collins was vastly underrated. In my opinion, it's a must read for anyone who loves classics and has not ye read it. "

" An early thriller, as we find out who the mysterious woman in white is, what her secret is, what happens to her doppelganger, and whether or not a crime has been committed. It's a Victorian crime drama. The audio version has been dramatized which makes it more fun. "

" Before I read this book, I wasn't a mystery reader. After this book...I was hooked. Whatever you do, don't read the last page first...because this book keeps you wondering the 'who did it' until the very last page. Loved it. "

" A gothic mystery with satisfying twists and turns. I will be impressed if you guess the big twist. "

" started off listening to it on the CraftLit podcast but couldn't wait through all the cliffhangers (wilkie is a master). I did find it less suspensful after the big event but still a good read. "

" Just let it all wash over you. A perfect novel to read on vacation. Or if you've been reading a lot of D.A. Miller and Foucault. "

" My foray into the classic that is The Woman in White was a brilliant start. Wilkie Collins is a very clever writer and the characters were well rounded and sinister. Gothic horror at its best. "

" Excellent book for mystery lovers and classic book lovers! "

" I've decided to reread it. "

" Wow, this one took me a long time to read! Of course, I had a few interruptions, but I ended up really liking it and it always helps when it is a great ending. It was a little slow for me in spots and the "mystery" was definitely not the non stop thrillers of today, but I liked it. "

" One of the best classics I have read. I highly recommend! "

" I read the Project Gutenberg version. Very enjoyable. A bit of a pot-boiler, but fun, and much loved by later writers, such as T.S. Eliot. "

" I basically read this book in one sitting with my hair standing up on end the entire time. Not really, it took me a week or so, but that's pretty impressive considering I was listening to a freakishly long audio book. Intriguing, exciting, tragic, and totally mysterious. "
