    <reviewbody>I downloaded this and listened to it on a 9 hour solo drive from Jacksonville, FL to Richmond, VA.  The story was intriguing and quite chilling, painted beautifully with the words of Henry James.  The woman reading has a very pleasing voice and the recording is of professional quality.  My only complaint was that each chapter had an introduction identifying the author, reader, book name, chapter, and the audio collection that this piece came from.  It lasted about 20-30 seconds but really broke up the flow of the book, since some chapters are very short. That being said, I would recommend this to anyone.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>I have to say that I listened only through the first chapter.  The story seemed as though it would be interesting, and the reader's voice and style seem as though they might have been lovely in person or perhaps on a conventional recording device, but the computer-like utterances and spacing and silences was something I simply found too irritating.  I have to say, I don't have high expectations of readers, but this recording sounded too much like a computer voice for me to be able to enjoy it.  If that kind of thing doesn't bother you, then you'll likely enjoy it as the first reviewer did.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>I was given the books Daisy Miller and The Turn of the Screw when I was a child.  I never read them as I found them too hard.  I am guessing I was about 9 or 10.  The book was not much better as an adult.  I listened to this one some time ago so I do not remember the narration and that may have been part of it.  I really had a hard time getting through this story and honestly I am not sure what the big deal is about Henry James or a lot of classics for that matter.  I am grateful; however, to Librivox that at least I had the opportunity to listen to this book.</reviewbody>
