review 1: First of all, you cannot go wrong listening to an audiobook narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch. His voice is smooth and sensuous and I found myself entertained while listening to this book. Had I been reading this on my own, I'm fairly certain that I'd have been bored, but not with such an excellent narrator. Secondly, Casanova was different. He fell in love so many times that I'm completely certain that he mistook lust for love. He's one of those guys that I'd probably punch in the face if I ever met him, but nevertheless, his story was an interesting one. I'm definitely glad that I decided to listen to this audiobook.
review 2: I listened to this one because it was recommended to me by a friend. While I enjoyed the Italian language and detailed writing, I can't... more say I enjoyed the content all that much. It's really just a perfect example of the way men thought of women in that day and age: property and a way to procreate. I wouldn't even classify it as romance, because really he was just cataloging all of his conquests. I know he says that he loved each woman, but then he goes on to talk about how men think of women and sex like food. That kind of ruined it for me. Thank you, Casanova, for making us women feel like we are no better than food. less
