Summary: Good quality product!!!
Review: First, this is an unabridged version -- although it is wrongly listed as abridged. Second, this reading is clear, articulate and easy to follow. I have read the 2nd treatise many times before listening to this audio edition. The reader does a great job, staying faithful to the tone and cadence of this work. Ignore the review that gives this product a one-star. I hestitated when I saw it, but decided to buy this product anyway. I'm glad I did, as that review was terribly unjust.

Summary: Very disappointed.
Review: Locke writes in very long and convoluted sentences, with all the powdered-wig pomp appropriate to intellectual discourses of the time, 1690. Each of these sentences would required considerable rehearsal to deliver them in a way that pointed up their sense rather than obscuring it. But, Lois Betterton reads as though she's perpetually surprised at the course of Locke's sentences, as well as their sequence. I don't know where one would find someone competent to give a reading of this book, and maybe it isn't Betterton's fault. But, Blackstone should know better. They ought to commission a truly professional reading (by Betterton or another) and send that, with a note of apology, to anyone who purchased this audio book.

Summary: NOT Abridged!
Review: This audiocassette book is NOT abridged! To prove this, go to the publisher's website (Blackstone audiobooks).Some people, like myself, cannot, for whatever reason, read (paper) books, and there is, so far as I know, no other audio version of a Locke text available in the world. (There is a Knowledge Products two-tape set, and it is excellent, but it's ABOUT Locke; it is not the text on tape.) So I'm grateful to Blackstone for producing this. And, actually, I found it to be of very good quality.
