american classic narrated by an american.

Any additional comments?

I originally bought this book some years ago narrated by david horovitch and have just got round to listening to it. it was awful, spoken very slow with gaps between sentences. I gave up and then found this version which I liked.
the three main characters are newland archer, may welland and countess olanski and in their own way are all self absorbed.
I gave it 4 stars because I finished it.

Such clever and witty use of language. Great plot. I hear something new in this every time I listen.
