Would you listen to Bleak House again? Why?
I am actually listening to it again and again, sampling some of my favorite chapters. Now that I understand the plot and the story, it is a thrill to go back and see how carefully strands were woven together and how masterly the descriptions and social commentary.Who was your favorite character and why?
I had many favorite characters, among them, Guppy, Krook, and George.Have you listened to any of Sean Barrett and Teresa Gallagher ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first one. I'd like to hear more.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted it to last as long as possible, so I lingered.. but it was gripping and a real "page turner".Any additional comments?
I'm going to get more Dickens!Dickens - a Genius

and the performances - you can’t just call this kind of voice acting ‘reading’ - completely do it justice: gallagher is spot on as esther summerson, the most complete of victorian heroines, and barrett is nothing less than brilliant; superb in narration, and inhabiting dickens’ caricatures, whether sympathetic or scorching, with a master’s touch

Would you consider the audio edition of Bleak House to be better than the print version?
Not better, but the good performances certainly enhanced and provided an excellent reading of a fantastic story.Which character – as performed by Sean Barrett and Teresa Gallagher – was your favorite?
Teresa Gallagher's performance was lovely. Her voice is so melodic and her children's voices are just lovely. I especially loved Charley. And Sean Barrett was a perfect counterpoint to Ms Gallagher's voice. His dour British accent was exquistely, well, Dickenisian.Great reading of a fabulous story

Superb narration, long novel

I was taken by both of the narrators immediately. Teresa Gallagher made Esther's narrative lively, and Sean Barrett as the omnicient narrative did the same. As with many Dickens novels, "Bleak House" is full of fabulous characters (major and minor), dialogue and a story that twists and turns to its conclusion.
Expect a range of emotion, happiness, gratitude, shame and grief. Dickens' stories are classic and timeless.

Some expectedly extreme characters but by far the majority of the characters portray thoughts and emotions that readers can relate to despite the historical period of the book.
