Summary
Held to be Dickens' finest novel, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon. Memorable characters include the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn, the friendly, but depressive John Jarndyce, and the childish and disingenuous Harold Skimpole, as well as the likeable but imprudent Richard Carstone. A suspenseful tale about the injustices of the 19th-century English legal system. This novel set the standard for modern day legal thrillers.

Dowloaded audio files but none were playable
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
dowloaded 4 large audio files but none were playable on Audible or Windows Media. Can I have my money back?

terrible performance
really cannot recommend this recording, very poor performance, it's one monotonous drawl, completely emotionless and could have been done better by a computer

poor choice of reader
I have enjoyed other performances by Batchelor but Im afraid for this book he is totally wrong. Large parts of the book is written in a womans voice and he is completely unable to pull this off. Different characters were hard to distinguish and the text became dense and tedious.
Give this one a miss.
