This audiobook was an absolute lifesaver for my 4th-year university seminar! I find Dickens to be too dense to read with just the eye, so having a voice to accompany the text was just the best!
I read in the comments,, "I would enjoy this so much more if it weren't for an exam". How sad. I read this when I was in school long years ago and have read it again since. Now, as I grow older, I have truly enjoyed this classic literature more than ever. The story is timelss, the lessons constant and true. You student of today and tommorrow, give heed to the past, learn its lessons, treasure the gift.
True, and yet. It's hard to truly enjoy something when we read it because "'I have to". Doubly so if it's 15 hours worth of listening, or 30 hours of reading it by yourself. I feel for the teachers, too, who try to inspire the love of these books in students who prepare for lessons by listening to the audio book while (my imagination) playing MMPORGs on their laptop. It's a cliché, I know, but my guess is that when you went to school you weren't quite so flooded with tv-shows interrupted by commercials every ten minutes, and a smartphone interrupting your thoughts whenever a new whatsapp/ tweet / like / re-tweet occurs.

He was brilliant. His contempt for hypocrisy and deception is beautifully expressed throughout every line of his works. Most of it goes right over people’s heads, they think it’s boring. It’s absolutely riveting and hilarious.
@@ryanpatrickwhite97 Yes. Charles Dickens is genius with the English language. One can get by with eight or sixteen crayons in a box. But,with Dickens, you get EVERY COLOR!!!
His World was limited. He did not come from wealth. We forget, as United States citizens, having the luxury to learn to read and write was a privilege to the few in that era.
Thankyou so much, this is a difficult read that I struggled through many years ago, your narration was lively and exciting, Of course, the story is one of the best ever written.
The joys of a book read by one excellent Libravox narrator!!! I'm having so much fun. I do wish, I knew a Dickens scholar personally though, bec. I have so many questions about Sydney Carton. So. many. questions. 🤔😵
It is one of the most widely read novels in the English language. The characters are extremely believable and so is the setting. Dickens is famous two centuries later because of this book and A Christmas Carol.
Thank you SO much Librivix and fantastic narrator. I tried 2 other audios of this book but could bear the adds or narrators…..3rd time was lucky for me! ❤
I was struggling at reading this long yet complex book.. I did not have much time (probably lazy when I had lol) and voila this audiobook helped me complete it in time for my exam prep.Thanks a lot.

The whole institutional mindset for education sucks. Students should follow their own pull, not be pushed. Those interested in solutions might look up Michael Strong, John Taylor Gatto, Peter Gray.
😪I'm rereading this after many years. The depth and understanding of Charles Dickens is beyond belief. How awful for this kind, good man to have to see all of these awful things and have no way to change things. I feel this man's pain.
Thank you so much for this excellent reading. You bring all of Dickens’s skill to life. I hope you won’t be offended if I point out that your pronunciation of “Saint Antoine” is incorrect: the first “t” should be sounded, because of the vowel which follows it, which makes it easier to say. I’m sure this won’t bother the vast majority of your listeners, but as a French speaker I found it irritating, especially as the expression is repeated so often. An excellent interpretation in spite of this.
I loved the novel, Dickens' best & the movie does it justice. The appalling rage of the blood thirsty crowd, the indifference of the "justices", the cruelty of Madame LeFarge, the cowardice of her husband. The worst in human nature so much so that Napoleon is a relief.
I have this book with me..but never gone beyond two pages at one go ... always wanted to read Dickens... but never got opportunity as where I studied they never taught this kind of literature in school's ..hope this would help...
I went back and reread so many books that I had to read for classes over the years (this one included). They're all more enjoyable when the pressure is off!
When you go back and read again decades later, science has shown you can actually bring your mind and body back to experimence again the feeling of where you first were on the first time reading.
I have heard the opening sentence of comparisons and never knew it came from 'Tale of Two Cities'. "It was the best of times it was the worst of times." The Novel, a comparison of situation during the turmoil in France and England. Ruth Davis-Panchelli

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
Well, I'm in chapter 3 of the first book, and I understand my younger self thinking that this was a zombie/vampire book and putting it away. I think there was a dead woman involved, but perhaps that's all coming up. Definitely confused about what's going on, but I'll keep plugging away, as it's much easier to keep going with an audio book. Edit to add: Aha! An actual story begins in chapter 4!
@@sofiagold4255 Well, I never did finish it, but on the positive side, I did learn a lot about the French Revolution ! I happened to be reading "the count of Monte Cristo" at the same time, and my googling had a definite french history theme there for a while! 😂 This book gets much more coherent as it progresses, but I think the main characters didn't get the development they needed to be truly interesting to me. Dickens kept going back to the social injustice and ideas around how and why the revolution happened, and circling around that. Which is a worthy subject, undoubtedly. It's not a story that'll grip me very hard while I'm gardening, though. I might come back to it sometime. After this failed attempt, I found that listening to "the Hollytree Inn" was a great pleasure! It's a group effort from several authors of the day. They each wrote a chapter, and Dickens wrote the beginning and end. I'd recommend it!

Paul Adams rocks!
Excellent reading
I have this book with me..but never gone beyond two pages at one go ... always wanted to read Dickens... but never got opportunity as where I studied they never taught this kind of literature in school's ..hope this would help...
wonderful narrator
The best reading.
Great voice thank you❤
I’d enjoy this more if it wasn’t for a class....
I went back and reread so many books that I had to read for classes over the years (this one included). They're all more enjoyable when the pressure is off!
When you go back and read again decades later, science has shown you can actually bring your mind and body back to experimence again the feeling of where you first were on the first time reading.
Thank you
When Dickens describes the sensations I feel like I'm there.
I read this book for fun in fifth grade and it was (and still is!) one of my favorite books

I have heard the opening sentence of comparisons and never knew it came from 'Tale of Two Cities'. "It was the best of times it was the worst of times." The Novel, a comparison of situation during the turmoil in France and England. Ruth Davis-Panchelli

Good job narrator!
1:56:37 book 2 starts
So at 2:11:40 it’s says “ill-looking” in the book and he says “inn-looking”
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
Someone give this man an award for 4:19:53. It caught me so off guard.
One of my favorite C.D. Books!!! 😍😍😍😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️
Well, I'm in chapter 3 of the first book, and I understand my younger self thinking that this was a zombie/vampire book and putting it away. I think there was a dead woman involved, but perhaps that's all coming up. Definitely confused about what's going on, but I'll keep plugging away, as it's much easier to keep going with an audio book.
Edit to add: Aha! An actual story begins in chapter 4!
I don't think this is a good book. It's supposed to be a suspense type thing. Dickens other novels are much much better than this.
@@sofiagold4255 Well, I never did finish it, but on the positive side, I did learn a lot about the French Revolution ! I happened to be reading "the count of Monte Cristo" at the same time, and my googling had a definite french history theme there for a while! 😂
This book gets much more coherent as it progresses, but I think the main characters didn't get the development they needed to be truly interesting to me. Dickens kept going back to the social injustice and ideas around how and why the revolution happened, and circling around that. Which is a worthy subject, undoubtedly. It's not a story that'll grip me very hard while I'm gardening, though.
I might come back to it sometime.
After this failed attempt, I found that listening to "the Hollytree Inn" was a great pleasure! It's a group effort from several authors of the day. They each wrote a chapter, and Dickens wrote the beginning and end. I'd recommend it!
interesting how the first portion resembles current events......
Thanks bro. You helped me a lot
great reading
Thanks for the video.
I wish you showed some pictures and explained the difficult words.
Look em up lazy!
