@user-yf6hb8oj7w3 years ago THIS A VERY SHORTENED VERSION!!! Before I read the book I listened to about 30 min of this and in reality it was over 150 pages so I really recommend reading the book first because this audiobook it’s missing a lot. 524

@

@camillemariejohnson97233 years ago This is fantastic, but so shortened; so many of the best lines and descriptions have been cut or completely omitted. Read the full version if you are able! 103
@

@betryl3669last year Oh my God I've only listened to the first ten minutes and though a lot of stuff is missing compared to the full novel, this is absolutely incredible! I love the different intonations he gives to each character, it's exactly how I've imagined their voices while reading!! Absolutely gonna listen to the whole thing ... 9

@

@oriannalynn2 years ago Do i know this book? Absolutely not. Did i just listen to it because of him? Absolutely. 5
@

@seafarer_8 months ago I’m not one for wordy prose, but have been interested in this book for the plot, and to know what shenanigans led up to Bunny’s death. Now that I’ve listened to this abridged version of the story and have a clearer understanding of what’s to come, I am much more interested in reading the full text to catch the subtleties and details I didn’t get here. Glad this was an option or I never would have dared take on the book. ... 3
@

@heynonnynonnie96813 years ago Love this and I know it's the abridged version, but I would have given anything to hear RSL read that story about Bunny's term paper on John Donne and Metahemeralism. The final sentence of it made me burst out laughing the first time I ever read it. ... 17
@

@evie22023 years ago It’s missing so many important bits but it’s still amazing <3 I adore Donna but her voice drives me insane so I prefer this audio book 19
@

@kyleighmeyers85663 years ago I’ve been meaning to read this book for months and I watched dead poets society yesterday, after not seeing it for years. This feels like a sign <3 17
@

@nova10472 years ago I just finished the full version of the book and I have this strange feeling I’ve only experienced a few times before. The feeling of having just experienced a tragedy without actually experiencing anything outside of my head. Usually when I read a book it makes me happy and excited to continue reading. This book made me deeply distressed and yet I couldn’t put it down. This book is just fantastically horrifying. ... 5
