Ulysses spoken

I like this. Rather than every word, the editor has chosen appropriate lines for the narrative and possibly chosen on aesthetic line too. At least, that is what I do if I was tasked to reducing a book.

Interesting story

Very good narration. Story is a bit hard to follow and really seems like a snapshot of a day in the life of.... Not really a story at all.

Great narration. Ulysses is very hard to read….the narration may be hard to follow, but the dramatic reading makes it very interesting

Magical reading!

I’m in debt to the readers of this masterpiece. They must know that the accessibility of this book Joyce made is a dyslexic fever dream that has me usually sucking my thumb in a corner in total catatonic fear, into a transportation to the room where the characters are talking to me, baited. Each reader knows the book and the characters intimately and demonstrates that muse of a serious actor to make the page come alive spectacularly. Just amazing! NB Now to read the full fat unprocessed version.

The funniest book every written

Rereading it by listening - Ah! Such beautiful brogues- don’t say English is an ugly language fit only for law and finance - Listen to JJ - a deadly hilarious genius - Really I suppose it should be sung. Lovely lovely lithe and lilting. - *love* @phoebelegere
