Book Reviews of The Return of the Native
Book Review: Perfect Way to Enjoy Thomas Hardy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this audio book as a gift for my mother-in-law. Before I gave it to her, I thought I'd check it out first to make sure everything worked all right. When I started listening, I was hooked. You can guess the rest: I haven't yet given it to Mom. She'll have to wait her turn.
This is a great way to enjoy "The Return of the Native." If you're a fan of Thomas Hardy or the narrator, Alan Rickman, don't miss it!
Book Review: A Listening Pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this audiobook because it's narrated by Alan Rickman, my favorite actor. I knew nothing about the Thomas Hardy book before I bought this, but I'm fully engaged in this story of complicated love and longing thanks to Mr. Rickman's reading. His gorgeous voice and subtle performances (even when he voices female characters, he doesn't go over the top in an effort to sound like a feminine caricature) enliven the tale.Book Review: Marvelous
Summary: 5 Stars
I just returned from five days on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico where I sat on the beach listening to the Return of the Native. I laughed, I sighed, I cried, I clapped my hands with joy. But mostly I just floated amongst the clouds while Rickman seduced me with his voice(s). The best vacation I have had in a long time. Especially fell in love with Grandfa Candle's songs. Mr. Rickman has a voice made in heaven.Book Review: Now the book is on

Return Of The NativeThe Return of the Native Now the book is on cd and it's a must have. Now that the book is on cd there is no more issues with chewed tape. Mr. Rickman gives the book life and makes any long trip on the road go by fast and eases the mind. Great stuff wish he read more.Book Review: The Best Audiobook I've Ever Heard
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Thomas Hardy's writings and his novel "The Return of the Native" is probably my favorite thing he wrote. The descriptive passages are truly lush, vibrant and stunning. This reading by Alan Rickman is more than a reading: it is a master performance. I only wish that Rickman could read ALL of Hardy's novels. Highly recommended!
