Product Description

Product Description

A mysterious boatman on the Thames, a drowned heir, a dustman and his wife, and a host of other Dickens characters populate this novel of relationships between the classes, money, greed and love. The 58 characters are presented with remarkable clarity by David Timson in this unabridged recording of one of Dickens' finest works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally involving if you give it time, 6 Feb 2008
By emma who reads a lot (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I have to admit I didn't immediately feel convinced by this reading, as the author of the first review clearly did.

But after a while, my god it grew on me. Timson is extraordinarily good at getting Dickens' way of writing to work, read out loud. I really felt like I was getting some insight into what it must have been like at the time, hearing Dickens himself read out his new novel.

Timson has a great ear for the different characters, and you immediately fall in love with the Boffins in particular. And he makes the opening scene with the tides of the Thames seem deeply sinister.

£38 might seem like a lot for a book but it is about seven weeks of solid entertainment if you drive half an hour a day... Much better than a random night at the theatre you might not even like.

The best thing about it is that it's completely unabridged. So you get every single little detail of the novel - and you can drink it in with so much pleasure (and leisure) because someone else is reading it to you. Rarely have I listened to an audiobook which so much reminded me of the delights of having a bedtime story when i was little. Really good, v v v v v recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reading, 24 Sep 2007
By Justin Murphy (Luxembourg) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With 28 disks, this is a monster of an audiobook but it is worth the space. Timson reads brilliantly, and appears never to get tired. I'd like to know how long it took him to record it.

This isn't really the place to review Our Mutual Friend itself, nor am I worthy to do so. I can believe that some people who have trouble with reading Dickens, because of the length and the wordiness, might find an audiobook an easier introduction to him.

By the way, I was "encouraged" to read Dickens at school and hated him. I tried again a few (well, about 15) years later and now I can't get enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely superb reading, 30 Sep 2009
I am a complete fusspot when it comes to readings of classics - and this is one of the very best. The language is beautifully honoured, and the individual characters superbly brought out.
