Les Liaisons Dangereuses: Read by the Cast of the Stage Play by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
3.0
I have read 'Dangerous Liaisons' and it is fantastic. It has however, been a few years and so the story was just as gripping. I think the cast reading the letters was very well done and entertaining and it makes me wonder why more plays aren't turned into an audio book from the stage productions - Donmar may be on to a winner idea there!
However, I do think that this was slightly too abridged - had I not had prior knowledge of the plot through the book (and the countless teenage viewings of Cruel Intentions playing on ITV2 almost every week which led me to read the book in the first place), a lot of developments would have appeared out of nowhere or been skipped altogether.
The complex characters, however, we're brought to life spectacularly
