Customer Reviews
The Count of Monte Christo
This a fascinating and mesmerising story. The characters are wonderful and the story unfolds beautifully. So many books which may be enjoyable to read, are often spoiled as audiobooks by mediocre or overblown narration but here, the narrator Andrew Timothy is flawless, and his telling only increases the pleasure of the experience.
