WARNING! BAD ACCENT ALERT!
Revisado: 09-15-16
What did you like best about The Mysteries of Udolpho? What did you like least?
While Karen Cass does a fine job when using her own voice, she made the ill-advised decision to perform the spoken dialogue parts in a cringe-inducing and amateurish "French" accent, that becomes more and more onerous as the hours pass. And seeing as this is a 30+ hour book, that is onerous indeed. Audible really needs to make it a point to capture a representative passage for their sample narration, as if I had heard the baffling use of cartoonish accents, I would have sought another edition.
What aspect of Karen Cass’s performance would you have changed?
As above. It is understood the characters are speaking French, there is no need to flog us with inane accents to remind us of this at every spoken dialogue section.
Any additional comments?
I'm not commenting to review the book per se. It's a very long classic gothic novel, proceed at your own risk.

Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

Convoluted and overwrought, with cartoonish and grating narration.
Revisado: 08-08-16
Interesting and inventive up to a point, Dick drags out and flogs his premise for far too long, and Daniels narration wears out it's welcome fairly early, with cartoonish and over the top voice-acting that becomes fatiguing. Time magazine was well into hyperbole territory in placing this on the list of 100 greatest novels since 1923.
