David Case
Don Quixote is a middle-aged gentleman from the region of La Mancha in central Spain. Obsessed with the chivalrous ideals touted in the many books he has read, he decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked. After a first failed adventure, he sets out on a second one with a somewhat befuddled laborer named Sancho Panza, whom he has persuaded to accompany him.
In many works, the experiences of a man like Don Quixote would probably appear tragic. He's repeatedly beaten, chased away, lied to, and misunderstood. But in the hands of Cervantes, these events are comic.

As far as the narration goes, I can see why some people don't like it, but I really grew to love it. The narrator does a fantastic job acting out the characters, adding color to the experience.
Tough, but very rewarding

Would you listen to Don Quixote again? Why?
Probably not. It is VERY long.What did you like best about this story?
Characters were unforgetable.What about David Case’s performance did you like?
His voice renderings were brilliant and fully captured the personalities of each character. He must be a wonderful actor.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
This story could never be made into a movie that would do it justice.Any additional comments?
I started listening to this as a "labor of love." I ended up looking forward to every minute of it and am sorry it is over.Cannot believe how much I loved this

I have a version that is partly in Spanish that I am now eager to read. I think I can handle it.
I know narrator David Case (aka Frederick Davidson) is considered to be an acquired taste, but really, they just don't get any better than he is. His characterizations are without equal. If you haven't "acquired the taste," maybe now is the time to give him a try. This book would be a good place to start.
