Story
The last years of King Charles IX's reign in France were dominated by religious wars between Catholics and Protestants. Queen Margot begins in 1572 with the marriage of Marguerite de Valois to Henri de Navarre. Marguerite is King Charles' sister and the daughter of Henri II and Catherine de Medici, all firm Catholics. Henri de Navarre is a Protestant who later will become the beloved King Henri IV. Several important political events have led up to this marriage including the mysterious murder of Henri de Navarre's mother, cleverly plotted by Catherine de Medici. The wedding brings noblemen from all over the world to Paris resulting in the notorious Saint Bartholomew Massacre, where thousands of Protestants are killed. In this inventive and compelling novel, Dumas brings an extraordinary period of history vividly to life with much excitement and romance. The lively prose and wonderfully constructed plot tell of court intrigues and forbidden love, of beautiful queens, duchesses, and noblemen, suspense, conspiracies, betrayals, assassinations, superstitions, poisonings, and sumptuous feasts. With well-known historical figures as main characters in a dangerous and breathtaking game for power, Queen Margot tells of conspiracies, clandestine trysts, and daring escapes. There is the infamous Catherine de Medici, deliciously evil, constantly plotting and poisoning; Le Mole, a dashing and irresistable young Protestant who becomes Marguerite's lover; the noble Coconnos who provides a great source of comic relief; and at the center of all this intrigue are the good-hearted Marguerite and Henri who are perfect political allies with complicated and fascinating love lives.

Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Policeman, Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty.

When Twenty Years After opens it is 1648: the Red Sphinx, Cardinal Richelieu, is dead, France is ruled by a regency in the grip of civil war, and across the English Channel the monarchy of King Charles I hangs by a thread. As d’Artagnan will find, these are problems that can’t be solved with a sword thrust. In Twenty Years After, the musketeers confront maturity and face its greatest challenge: sometimes, you fail. It’s in how the four comrades respond to failure, and rise above it, that we begin to see the true characters of Dumas’s great heroes.

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.

Publisher's Summary
After fourteen years of wrongful imprisonment, merchant sailor Edmond Dantès escapes his grim island fortress. With the promises of youth erased and his betrothed now married to someone else, Dantès lives for one purpose: revenge. Thanks to a benevolent prison confidante who reveals the location of a hidden treasure, Dantès buys his way, unrecognized, into society. Adopting a new identity as the Count of Monte Cristo, he sets out to destroy the rivals who framed him for treason. But the count’s obsessive quest could have irrevocable consequences for the innocent - and for himself.
What unfolds is an epic tale of breathtaking intrigue and righteous retribution from Alexandre Dumas, the nineteenth-century master of high adventure.

This has the best narration. I tried two other versions but they had bad audio quality or monotone narration. This narrator is great and gives unique voices to each character and is consistently strong throughout.

Great narrative. Great use of accents.
He uses accents to depict different characters from different countries. Not difficult to understand and can tell who is speaking by the different voices he uses. Doesn't take away from the story at all.

Great, But Very Long
Since the author of this book is long gone, my review will be about the narrator of this great classic. The last time I read this book was when I was in college which was many, many years ago. I had forgotten a lot of it except for the gist of the book. I didn’t realize how many characters you had to keep track of and what they did to Edmon. It did get confusing at times and I had to rewind a little bit to listen to it again.
Saying all that, it has been a pleasure listening to this because of Guy Mott. I don’t know how in the world he came up with all the voices to all the characters, but there was NOT one voice that sounded the same. To say that he was fantastic would be an understatement. My favorite voice was of the young Edmond who was so excited about life. As the reader, you know what’s going to happen to him and it’s just so heartbreaking.
I had gone through all the samples of all the audiobooks that were offered and I found that this narrator was the best. It’s a long book. It took me about three weeks to listen to it because I’d listen on the way to work.
If you enjoy the old Classics, then I recommend this audiobook. It would be great to listen to on a long road trip. I felt like I was watching a movie. I did speed it up a little because he is a slower reader, but I truly felt like I was listening to more than one person. Great job, Guy!

WOW
I was worried to explore a narration of my favorite book for fear that it would not do justice to how I hear the story in my mind from my own reading. But I am now in love with this narrator. Tone, tempo, cadence, and differentiation of the characters is all superbly done. It has allowed me to continue enjoying my book while my hands and eyes are forced to pursue other tasks such as chores or long drives.
Just well done!

avoid the narrator
The narrator clearly doesn't speak any language other than English and produces some of the most obnoxious and fake French, Italian and Spanish accents. If you speak even one of these languages, you will find the narrator distracting at best. Made it half way until he became too painful to listen to.

Clever narration of a classic
I think the narrator did a a clever job of taking on the many faces and disguises of Edmund Dantes in this unabridged version of Dumas’ classic. If you’re use to a modern version of this story, you’ll need to get use to Dumas use of syntax as he weaves a gripping story of, greed, jealousy, envy, revenge, retribution, guilt, remorse, and more. Basically everything that makes the superb tale of the misfortune Dantes incarceration and eventual escape from the Chateau D’If, and how he gets his own back.

An exciting adventure i frequently revisit!
I have nothing to complain about regarding this title. The narration is performed incredibly. The lighthearted tone Guy Mott has mastered further heightens the bursts of riveting suspense that defines Dumas’ Masterpiece. The slight changes in pronounciation and dialects easily draws me in, bringing the book to life. I have listened to this several times and find Guy Motts voice soothing and flexible, i can listen at a faster speed without losing pronounciation and the audio quality leaves nothing to be desired.
