Summary
The Master and Margarita is one of the most famous and best-selling Russian novels of the 20th century, despite its surreal environment of talking cats, Satan, and mysterious happenings. Naxos AudioBooks presents this careful abridgement of a new translation in an imaginative reading by the charismatic Julian Rhind-Tutt. With War and Peace and Crime and Punishment among the Naxos AudioBooks best-sellers, this too promises to be a front title.

What was that?
A random series of events loosely connected about...you tell me
The voice actor was good so that’s something

Good for insomnia
It’s hard to comment on the story as all of the voices used for each of the characters detracted from the words. I’m unsure if the voice artist was trying to turn it into a Python sketch, but it didn’t work for me.
I ended up using it as a means of getting back to sleep because the story was lost in the performance.
I will get the book from the library as I have been told to persist.
Shame.

Very vivid and amazing writing style
Had to read the first half from the beginning and then all became clear. I listened to the long version of this book with the same narrator. This short version was better for understanding what’s going on

Good Narrator, So So Story
I listened to the whole thing mainly because the narrator was good and he voiced the characters pretty creatively. He was able to bring out the absurdity of the events, which occasionally reminded me of Chesterton. But overall the story seemed pointless. Plus I'll say I'm not a fan of sacrilegious takes on the Gospel, but literature is literature so I gave it a chance.

A charming perspective of the devil...
Vocalist is quite good, story is even better. A book that plays with static perspectives and old narratives. In a way it’s “The last temptation of Christ...” but depicting the devil... but with a fictional/non-biblical setting and it does add a layer into one storyline there as well. If you’re curious and appreciate challenging your own perspective, I think you’ll find yourself enchanted.

Ineligible..
Can’t understand or follow the story because the narrator is too fast speaking with a heavy British accent..

Definitely the best Russian novel
What made the experience of listening to The Master and Margarita the most enjoyable?
The extraordinary mixture of stories and characters in way similar to F. Kafka style of writing full of several parallel worlds, yet realistic and well managed to keep the reader focused and curious.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes

Bloody well done!!!
Incredible story. Hadn’t read Master and Margarita for nearly 30 years. The narrator adds so much beautiful depth to the story and characters. Really loved every bit of inflection … can’t say enough good things about it.
