Abbreviated audio version. Very well done, more like a play than a book reading.
dios mío. Me dejo sin palabras. Pase del odio al amor, del amor al odio con los mismos personajes millones de veces. No esperaba el final ni a palos. La prosa exquisita...lo amé

Sex, lies, manipulation, schemes, corrupted innocence, betrayals, and bragging about it! All of these things and the manner in which they were woven into the letters made this a must read for me. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this manner of telling a story but I can't see any other way for it to have been done. It allowed for multiple perspectives in far less words.
There was no hero in this story, only victims of malicious people, so if that's what you're looking for, don't bother picking it up.
I can only hope the movie adaptation is as fabulous.

This was an enjoyable treat from Audible. This was done as a play and I feel captured the main theme of the work. About 2 hours long, I still feel the need to read the novel at some point in it's entirety but having seen the movie, the play was entertaining.
This became, with just one reading, one of my all time favorites. Read it then watch Dangerous Liaisons (with John Malkovich, Glenn Close, and Michelle Pfeifer in the title roles) and Valmont (with Colin Firth, Annette Benning, and Meg Tilly). This is also the 2nd of only 2 epistolary novels I've ever read and I would have to say I like it the most.
