Publisher's summary
“In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king” repeats in Chen Fangyuan’s mind after he finds himself trapped in a valley holding a community of people for whom a disease eliminated their vision many generations before and no longer have a concept of sight. Chen Fangyuan quickly finds that these people have developed their other senses to compensate for their lack of sight. His insistence that he can see causes the entire community to believe he is crazy. With no way out, Chen Fangyuan begins to accept his fate until one day the village doctors believe they now understand what is the cause of his insanity…those useless round objects in his eye sockets.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

The narration is just too slow
The reading of this graded reader is too slow to really boost comprehension. While the audio quality is very high and the pronunciation is clear, I have to run the audio at 1.6X to even approach a normal speech speed - and at that pace, you notice that the rhythm is a bit unnatural. For some beginners, this could be a benefit. As for me, since I try to use audiobooks for listening comprehension knowing that I can reference the text if I have trouble, this version is too awkward to provide significant listening benefits.
I wish it were recorded at natural speed so that the combination of simple vocabulary AND normal intonation could help my listening skills.

Slow enough to understand!!!
This book is an amazing learning tool. The fact that it still tells a story with only this limited vocab is crazy.

The Best Tool for Improving Your Chinese!
The combination of the print and audio versions of the books in this series has helped me improve so much more easily, enjoyably, and rapidly than anything else I've found. This is the closest thing to learning like a small child, absorbing the language naturally. I'm so thankful for these books!

Need more
Extremely disappointed that in 2-3 years Mandarin Companion has not produced more books, especially higher level books. I don't need breakthrough and beginner books, I need sth more advanced. I guess they don't have the money to produce more advanced books :(
