Tim Curry was excellent, and the science, for what it was at the time, was engaging and fun.

The story is wonderful, absolutely lovely. But the reader was only ok. It's not that she had a bad sounding voice. She couldn't do voices for the different characters, though, which took away from the fineness of the story.

The story is stunning, and the narrator did a superb job. The only unfortunate thing is the music. It was almost unbearable. Terrible production idea.

I just wasn't sure until a got a few chapters in. This is a very deep book, and far ahead of its time. I highly recommend it. The author captured some very tender moments.

I enjoyed this book. The reader, who is also the author, was not my favorite reader of all times. The book was well written, and very enjoyable. I appreciate the way her books make me think about human nature. I recommend it.

This book was such a surprise, with interesting discussions on life and death, health and nutrition, and shame. It was beautifully done. My only thought against it was that the ending felt a little abrupt.

I read this book twenty years ago, and was amazed that I hadn't gotten around to reading it until that late date. What a revelation. Listening to it this time was again a revelation. The writing is very good, the story is instructive, and the reader was just right.

This story never gets old. One reviewer said the story is about nothing. I disagree. This is a story about marriage politics at a time when women were decorations for their husbands, and incapable of providing for themselves because of the way society was structured at that time. A family with five daughters, whose wealth could not legally be passed down to them because they were women... that's a big topic.

Also, the reader was brilliant.

I found this book incredibly moving. A lot of listeners didn't love the narrator, but I loved her style! It was unusual, and interesting.
