Editor reviews

The Pickwick Papers, Volume 1 is Charles Dickens' first novel, written under the pseudonym of "Boz". These related serial adventures center on Samuel Pickwick's and his friends' travels through the English countryside. Audio performer Patrick Tull shows genuine enthusiasm for the tales. His talent particularly shines when he creates characters' voices, each of which brims with a unique accent, pace, and pitch. From spinster aunts and wily servants, to innkeepers, actors, and widowed landladies, Tull breathes life into them all.

This version of the Pickwick Papers has brought this fine book to life with such a well performed narration. It may well be more costly than other versions but it is worth the money.

I have struggled before now to "read" Dickens but am hugely enjoying listening to the Pickwick Papers - fantastically read. My only difficulty is not laughing out loud on the train in the morning!

Brilliantly read

This is not only a superb reading of The Pickwick Papers, it's one of the best audiobooks I've heard. The novel contains some of Dickens' broadest and most colourful characters, and Patrick Tull does ample justice to them all - including the women!

I've tried to read this book many times, but failed to get to the end. With this audiobook, I managed it, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The narrator brings every character to joyful life. Recommended!
