This is a well performed audiobook. It made it easy to listen to.
The story is a little weird and I got a bit confused at times but that could be partly because it's abridged, and partly because I get distracted by the rhyming. To be honest, when reading or listening to rhyming verse, sometimes I listen to how it sounds and forget what the words mean.

I don't think this should be called the greatest work in German literature by any means. But I get why it becomes a "memeable" character and is referenced in other literature through decades.

I agree with everyone in the reviews that says Faust is creepy. There's nothing much to like about him and that makes it all a little boring. But the story as a whole was easier to listen to and understand than I expected.
