By: Thomas Wolfe

Narrated by: NBC Theater

too short

you said review optional and now I can't escape this screen, let alone am unable to free up space on my device

Disappointed

As another reviewer wrote, this isn't the book. It's an abridged NBC broadcast of the story. I was disappointed.

Pretty darn good

Loved the performances, and I adored the themes, but the ending was a bit lacking

It is a summary of the novel

Sadly, this is just a summary of the novel. Yet, it captures the essence. The acting in the recording is of fairly low standard. The recording is scratchy and poor, too. Yet, the novel has substance that deserves to a part of Audible. The book deserves better.

Deception

I foolishly acquired this synopsis of Thomas Wolfe's "You Can't Go Home Again". I was excited about chapter 2, etc. only to discover audible doesn't have the entire book available. What a disappointment! It looks like other Audible listeners were duped, too.
