One of Dickens’ earlier works, dating from 1839, this novel charts the fortunes of an honorable young man, Nicholas Nickleby, who has set out to make his way in the world. Dickens presents a remarkably vivid display of Victorian characters and the lives they lead, from the generous to the fated to the crushed. Hope springs eternal, however, and righteous persistence brings rewards.

Samuel Pickwick, founder and chairman of the Pickwick Club, engages three fellow members to accompany him on a journey. By coach they’ll travel to the outreaches of London to explore, observe, and report back on the quaint wonders of the English countryside. What transpires is a picaresque romp of misadventures, hair-raising challenges, and romantic follies entangling the fates of a riot of colorful characters - a passel of villains, spinsters, poets, and sportsmen - and the unworldly Pickwick himself, who has much to learn about life outside his gentleman’s club.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

They said write what you know so that's what I did. I wrote dirty, I wrote erotic, I wrote the truth. And then they called me a liar. But it's not me who's lying, it's them. Our story isn't for everyone. It's not even for us. So if you're looking for the fairy tale and the stupid prince on his dumb white horse, move along. You've got a hold of the wrong book. This is not your story, this is not your life, and this is not your opportunity to dip your frightened little toe into the dark pool of water and "try new things" and then pull it out and decide... #NotForMe.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Is it just me or has anyone else heard women talking and laughing behind the narrator? Chapters 30 and 31 so far... so annoying. I am not sure where he recorded this but he needs to shut the door!

Outstanding Narration!
Gerald Dickens did a fabulous job of narrating this old classic. Easy to understand even with my hearing loss. The story itself starts a bit slow, but after awhile, you really get sucked into the drama. Recommend!

Good story, decent narration, poor recording
Good story, decent narrator, but the recording was amateur at best. Off and on throughout the whole recording people could be heard having conversations and laughing in the background. Once, very clearly, sirens could be heard for quite some time. And a few times the narrator would be reading, pause, then start the sentence over again. Overall it was a decent book but I won’t be listening to any more books from this group.

Dickens' great grandson narrates excellently
The story is good, of course, as are all Dickens' books.
The best part may be the narrator. Gerald Dickens makes this book lively and compelling.
He is one of the best narrators I have ever listened to...out of a few hundred Audible audiobooks.
My highest recommendation!

A Dickens of a good book
Gerald Dickens does his great great grandfather proud in his exemplary performance of what has become one of my favourites of Dickens' books upon first listening. Such a breathe of fresh air after the brilliant but dark and brooding Oliver Twist, Curiosity Shop contains excellent narrative, full of twists & turns, intrigue, comedy, dark humour, lightheartedness and disappointment but never predictability. Gerald Dickens is an excellent narrator, bringing the story to life.

Excellent narration!
Only Oscar Wilde could find the death of a beautiful young girl and an evil dwarf funny.
Everything that makes Dickens Dickens is in this book and it’s excellent .

Great book, bad reading
Is there anything you would change about this book?
This is one of Dickens' earlier novels and does not have the structure of the mature ones (starting with "Dombey and Son"). The illness and suffering of Little Nell thrilled Dickens' contemporaries but is likely to seem quite tedious to our contemporaries. At least, that is how I find it. Nevertheless, like all of Dickens' novels, there are wonderful characters, incidents, and narration. This should not be one of the first Dickens novels you read, but by almost any other fiction writer, it would be a masterpiece.
What other book might you compare The Old Curiosity Shop to and why?
Not as good as Dickens' later novels (starting with "Dombey and Son"), but like the other earlier ones, very much worth reading.
Would you be willing to try another one of Gerald Dickens’s performances?
No.
Did The Old Curiosity Shop inspire you to do anything?
Remind myself how good Dickens is.
Any additional comments?
I find Gerald Dickens' performance quite annoying. Since there are alternatives, in the middle of Chapter 4 I decided to try one of them, the one by Gerald Hagan. But I wish the old one by David Case/Frederick Davidson would be restored to the catalogue. He is unsurpassable.

Exceptional
Exceptional narration of a classic! How wonderful to hear the story told by the author's Great Great Grandson. Highly recommend.
