David Copperfield

Rating:
Summary: Superb
Review: Martin Jarvis performs a fabulous reading of "David
Copperfield". His interpretation of Dickens's colorful
cast of characters is spot-on.

My only complaint is with the format of the CDs themselves.
Most MP3 players have a feature for moving from folder to
folder and for browsing among MP3 files in a given folder.
This allows one to quickly find one's bookmark, so to
speak. But on each of the "David Copperfield" CD's, all the
MP3 files are collected in one folder, thereby forcing the
listener to manually page through a large number of files on
those occasions (such as power disconnection) where the MP3
player loses its memory of its last stopping point.

Given the quality of the reading, however, the CD formatting
is a minor nit.

Summary: Careful! MP3 format!
Review: The book is great, but these audio CDs would not play on our ordinary (Ok -OLDER!)CD player because they are MP3 format, we had to play them on a PC instead. As far as I can see, the format information is not visible in the product information.
