Best classic novel audio books: Which ones are highly recommended?

I highly recommend 'The Vanishing Half'. It has a really engaging plot about race and identity. The characters are well - developed and the story keeps you hooked from start to finish.

I highly recommend 'The Underground Railroad'. It's not only a great work of historical fiction but also a powerful exploration of race in America. The way Colson Whitehead uses the concept of the railroad is both imaginative and thought - provoking.

I highly recommend 'Homegoing' by Yaa Gyasi. It's a beautifully written book that traces the generations of two families, one in Ghana and one in America. It shows how their lives are interconnected by history and the legacy of slavery.

Another great one is 'Serial'. It dives deep into one story over the course of a season. For example, in its first season, it explored the case of Adnan Syed, and through detailed interviews and investigations, it told a captivating and complex story that kept listeners hooked from start to finish.

I highly recommend 'Because of Winn - Dixie' by Kate DiCamillo. It's about a girl named Opal who befriends a dog. The story is full of love, loss, and the power of friendship. It has simple yet beautiful language that 5th graders can easily understand.

One highly recommended Chinese urban fiction book is 'Beijing Doll' by Chun Sue. It vividly depicts the life of a young girl in Beijing, including her growth, dreams, and the challenges she faces in the urban environment.

One great thriller love story novel is 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. It's a complex tale that combines the elements of a thriller with a very dark view of a relationship. The twists and turns in the plot keep you on the edge of your seat, and the exploration of the characters' relationship is both fascinating and disturbing.

One of the best is 'The Case of the Velvet Claws'. It introduced Perry Mason in a very engaging way. The mystery and the courtroom drama are well - blended.

For beginners, 'Akira' is a great choice. It's a classic that has influenced a lot of other sci - fi works. It has a relatively straightforward story about a biker gang in a post - apocalyptic Tokyo and a boy with powerful psychic abilities. The art style is distinct and has aged well.

I highly recommend 'The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle' by Stuart Turton. It's a mystery - thriller with a unique time - loop concept that keeps you on your toes. 'A Column of Fire' by Ken Follett is also great. It's a historical fiction that continues the Kingsbridge series and is full of political intrigue and complex characters. And 'The Alice Network' by Kate Quinn, which is set during World War I and II and tells the story of female spies.
