Splendid!

I love this book and I love Michael Sheen. I could listen to this again and again.

Great Narrator

Not sure if this is the full book. I had seen some versions that ran for 8 hours yet this one was around three. I may be mistaken though. Was a great listen nonetheless. Highly recommend.

Feral Welshman Performs Wilde

Michael Sheen could read the phone book and it would sound like poetry. This cautionary tale about vanity is poetic enough, but the narrator elevates it to something even greater.

Delectable

Michael Sheen gives this (abridged) story a downright sultry treatment, honeyed and decadent as the tale itself.

Great story

One of my favorites and Michael Sheen was an amazing narrator. He brought the story to life.
