This is without a doubt one of the best books of all time.

| 4. |  | War and Peace (BBC Radio Presents)
from Random House Audio
Customer Review:
Tolstoy goes far beyond just hitting the peaks of the story but also, writes at length on the hills, valleys, and everything in between (the material that other authors leave out). It is exhaustively detailed, down to the most mundane description of a character. Being that the high-points are few... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Anna Karenina: BBC (BBC Radio Presents)
from Random House Audio
Customer Review:
Anna Karenina. She was an amazing woman. But no less amazing than the other characters in the novel. Tolstoy was a brilliant man and writer. He knows how to blend plot and thought like few others. After reading his novels, I am convinced that he was a keen observer of human nature and interactions.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Highbridge Audio
Customer Review:
I am sorry to deflate all the reviews, but i found this book disappointing. I am totally into jokes, and live in Australia and to be honest these jokes in this book are so 'no brainers' and for me, just reminded me of Americans. I would think twice about buying this book if you live outside of the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Soundelux Audio Pub
Customer Review:
Anyone says that the movies are preferrable to this needs to learn how to read (that said, I'm a huge of the movies--they are cinematic masterpieces).
But this is classic fantasy at its best. Every other fantasy author to come along, as great as they are, still have not managed to create the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This is not only funny, and I mean at times very funny. It was relaxing and interesting. It held my 19 year old daughters attention and that was nice to be able to share something our whole family could enjoy. The stories are something we all could relate to. Rare | 4.0 / 5.0
