Title: Poorly done
Review: The Scarlet Letter is one of my favorite novels, a story of a woman who is tried and found guilty of adultery in the Puritan town of Boston in the early 1800s or before.All through the story, we hear, in essence, the conflict between her conscience and her demons - in the form of the Minister and the Physician. The writing is wonderful, and the turn of phrase is phenomenal.This tape is unabridged, which is as it should be. I agree with Stephen King, who abhors abridged versions and refuses to release abridged audiotapes.However, Lesley Ann Warren does not do even a credible job of narrating this story. The emphasis is all wrong, and you keep expecting some accent or emphasis which is never there. It sounds as if she is reading the story, not living it. She does not make the story come alive, but rather plods through it.You would do MUCH better to get the Penguin Audibook edition read by Bob Sessions. MUCH better.
