“I walk and listen with people staring bc I am laughing out loud. “My wife has as much joy as Lady Macbeth and my daughters are as cheerful as Goneril and Reagan. Oh how the women will bully you.” ❤️🤣
Maybe read Wikipedia cast of characters first.”

“This is the first book I’ve listened to in this series and the story is good but the performance of it is amazing.
Marilyn captures each personality so thoroughly in the way she performs each chapter
I want to listen to the rest of the books, if only I had the time!”

“To be honest, I don’t think I would’ve ever picked up “The Age of Innocence” if it weren’t for this podcast. The way that Marilyn narrated and voiced each character got me completely engrossed into this story. The only slight flaw is that a few bloopers weren’t edited out of some episodes, but...”Read full review »

“I love listening to Marilyn read. However, there seems to be issues with the editing of some episodes. Maybe better care in relistening to them on the part of the producers to make sure there are no audible blunders would be nice. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy them.”

“I never would’ve gotten through Jane Eyre by reading text on a page although I had always wanted to. This was enjoyable! I listen while sewing and have been so productive since I can’t wait to get back to my book each day. Thank you. From a listener across the St Lawrence.”

“Most enjoyable. I have never listened to a podcast before because I have always read novels. Listening to this podcast allows me to close my eyes and let my imagination soar.
