For Whom the Bell Tolls

Disappointed. Had not read it but have enjoyed many of Hemingway's works. The Sun Also Rises is a favourite. Especially read out loud (I will read it now) the rhythm and repetition were brutal. The narration was outstanding making the prose all the more suspect. An important work and I will read it soon but...I need a break to be fair. Passionate but leaves me wondering.

I thoroughly enjoyed this reading of "For Whom the Bell Tolls." The story is real, is interesting, and one truly gets to "feel" the characters. The narration was superb. Campbell Scott took on the voices of the many different characters in a very believable and convincing way. I read the book many years ago but feel that I did not lose a lot by listening to it this time. Hemingway's writing is straightforward while still being descriptive. A great listen, and an important work.

Grueling and stunning. Fabulous narration by Campbell Scott. Vivid portraits of individuals trapped/caught up in the Spanish Civil War.

Enjoyed this book very much! Great narration Mr. Scott!

I am currently going back to classic American writer’s works. I really enjoy this work of Hemingway. The narrator did a great job and the story line and the writing are classic Hemingway.

I started this books a few years ago. However, this book found itself in the far reaches of my digital library. After watching A Midnight In Paris, I was passionately moved to give the book another chance. The book gives the feeling of living behind the frontline in Spain during the Civil War. It’s moving and raw. I was surprised to find that this book was once very controversial due to sexual content and political thoughts. It’s a great read.

I have taught books by Hemingway in the past, but had only seen the classic movie version of For Whom the Bell Tolls. The book far surpassed my already high expectations and the experience was greatly enhanced by the superb reader who did an outstanding job with the dialogue and voices of various characters and Robert Jordan's interior monologues. I highly recommend this audiobook. I fully agree with the helpful and positive comments below by Albert and Freya Scott-Turner.

Gripping story and brilliantly read!

I know this book is a classic and that is partly why I chose to read if but it took a while to get going. Robert Jordan was my kind of hero, the unlikely, I don't give a sh*t sort. This book brings up some facts about war I think we can still learn from. I found Hemmingway's

Loved this book. Excellent classical read!! I believe everyone needs to read this book
