Bleak House

By: Charles Dickens, Marty Ross

Narrated by: Thandiwe Newton, Ambika Mod, Mackenzie Crook, Mark Strong, Lenny Rush, Mark Gatiss, Adeel Akhtar, Miriam Margolyes

London. A city drowning in fog. Amid that fog, a man with no name dies above a strange junkshop. Threads of mist and intrigue weave around a court case with no resolution, linking great country houses with the lowest slum in the city, mingling the high-born with a boy who sweeps the filthy streets, enshrouding devious plots and sudden murder, bringing together two extraordinary women – Lady Dedlock and Esther Summerson - who seem to have nothing whatsoever in common but who will find themselves inextricably linked.

Audible's trilogy of Dickens dramatizations, executive produced by Sam Mendes, and with a new original score by Dan Gillespie-Sells, concludes with the most dramatic and atmospheric yet, starring Thandiwe Newton (Westworld), Ambika Mod (One Day), Mackenzie Crook (The Office) and Mark Strong (Kingsman).

I liked the story. Had a hard time putting it down..

I would read it again. The store line was impaling. I felt like I was living in the story.

The story and performance!

It is a great classic and was a wonderful listen. I highly recommend, and hope we get to hear more of the wireless theater format.

Outstanding Performers

Truly a great performance by all. I enjoyed listening to every moment. I will look for similar Dickens productions.

Smiply Outstanding

I cannot speak highly enough about the narrators. Of course, it's an Audible production. Being a Charles Dickens fan, I have tried to read this book for years but couldn't get past the first few chapters. Audible ALWAYS brings the characters to life and I absolutely couldn't put it down. Don't miss this one.

It was okay, but won’t be my favorite.

The plot was amazing but perhaps if it was a television series or physical reading, I would have enjoyed it more. There was exposition I thought unnecessary to the story and so many dramatic pauses that didn’t translate well in an Audio book. That being said the narrators all dis quite well. Also the kid’s voice was annoying.

Still surprises

My favorite Dickens tale. Voice acting and sound effects are exceptional. Felt like I was there.

Stunning performance

This incredible performance by a full cast of actors made me love this book again, even deeper than ever.

So good!!

I loved the actors, the music, the sound effects, the writing, and the story.

Great actors

Great reading makes Dickens more understandable and I became invested in the characters. Great classic!

Wow!!

Wow, what a story. Oliver is an awesome writer. This story kept me on my toes could not stop listening thank you all.
