I don't know that Ive ever enjoyed an audio book more. The narrators were beyond wonderful - I was spellbound and actually wished my commute was longer. What a beautiful story from beginning to end. The characters are fascinating - all of them! Wow! Great! 5 stars!

I found this book very interesting. It was read by two different voices which really helped follow the story. The ending was very complete and that is something I value in a good story.

I thought this was an original story with the highest quality production. It's a pleasure to listen to. Although I found some of the plot points a little too contrived, I enjoyed the old-fashioned storytelling style. It makes for great listening.

Oh how I loved this book! The story within a story, the deep love of reading, the strange characters there is good and evil and everything in between. Ive seen this referred to as a Gothic novel and Id have to agree. It just has that *feel* about it, what with a dilapidated old mansion, numerous recluses, and mysterious happenings.

This one kept me guessing and entertained on a long car trip. Interesting story and characters.
Gripping, easy to follow with surprising twists and turns.
I only finished this book because I personally try to finish every book I start to read because I believe they deserve the chance. That is the ONLY reason I finished this book, but there was a fun twist at the end I had not predicted.
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I thought the readers were excellent...the story within a story was very interesting. The ending was very good and wrapped
up things well. A very good reading experience.
