great classic


(5 stars)

Clearly read and great emphasis when needed. This is a classic that I read every few years, but listening was a nice experience, almost like listening to the story for the first time.

great reading


(5 stars)

great diction and flow, fittingly dramatic, voices that are distinct and entertaining. A short and gripping tale that packs some gasps as well

One of the greatest poem in the English literary tradition.


(4 stars)

The narrator does an excellent job in presenting the text in a clear voice with a neutral accent. This reading is great for literature students trying to find extra time during the day or for anyone curious about the lake poets.


(5 stars)

I'm in awe. It's dreamy, nightmarish and supernatural. It's also a classic heroes journey. Well read and very well worth a listen.
