Summary
Actor Michael Gandolfini, star of The Many Saints of Newark, brings Hemingway’s masterwork to life with an original and captivating performance in this brand-new audiobook edition of The Sun Also Rises.
In his unforgettable first novel, Hemingway artfully illuminates the plight of the Lost Generation, weaving a poignant tale of love and loss in the aftermath of World War I. The story follows two expatriates living in Paris in the 1920s: Jake Barnes, an American war veteran and journalist, and Lady Brett Ashley, an independent Englishwoman exploring the opportunities afforded by a new era of liberated women and sexual freedom. Impotent due to an injury suffered during the war, Jake must navigate his hopeless love for Brett in a changed world of waning morality.
From Parisian society’s vibrant nightlife to the ruthless bullfighting rings of Spain, The Sun Also Rises takes listeners on a powerful journey through mass disillusionment, moral bankruptcy, and elusive could-have-beens. All the while, we see both the brokenness and resilience of a generation scarred physically and emotionally by the horrors of war.

worst performance EVER
how does the voice actor manage to sound so bored and childish and unlikeable as every single one of the characters? I'm trying this for a second time, and can't go through the very beginning. Such a great book destroyed by the audio!

Bad accents
Meh. When the reader didn’t try to act out the characters it was passable, but truly awful when he did

Great Book - terrible, terrible narration
Honestly, I listened to this recording of the book for about an hour and a half and I'm genuinely surprised it ever got okayed for release. I went out an bought the physical book & found an alternative recording else where and flipped between those; it was THAT bad.
I don't want to bad mouth Tony Soprano's son or anything, but some of his accents were honestly unbearable. None were particularly good, but the English accent he used for Brett was probably the most egregious. I have a pretty high tolerance for bad accent's, but that one was comically bad. Very 'wat doo uu meean jache'. Very Funny. Very bad.
The books is great overall though, but bloody hell, get a different version aha

Narration is sloppy
Just a downer to have such lazy reading on a story which rolls along fine.
