The atmosphere and setting of this book were remarkably vibrant I could picture High Place and each of its residents in full disgusting detail. Until the end, I couldn’t figure out which of the creepy characters were trustworthy or even which scenes were reality. But this reader is quite confused about matters.“Although Mexican Gothic begins in an unassuming Gothic way, with a psychotic cousin and a haunted house, the book slowly turns until you are completely snatched from reality and cannot put the book down. I mean, I prefer the Guidall version, which respects the original words written by Herbert compared to the Audible version. If so, all I can say I that I find it distressing that almost a thousand people found it helpful, because it's wrong in every particular.

Therefore I feel that this audio book should be re-titled to 'Dune, or the Story of Paul'. This presentation leave out roughly 50% of what is presented in the physical book (that is my estimation and not an exact amount). It does not follow all the characters like the physical book does, instead focusing on Paul practically to the exclusion of the rest of the cast. What caught me off guard is that this listing takes significant liberties with what is presented to us as consumers of this product. I don't have the link to more information, but you can find more about it by searching the subreddit, for sure!Įdit: is this the review you're referencing?

It's not on Audible, but there's a version-quite good-narrated by George Guidall. The reviews are way off, though there are minor edits to the Audible version.
