About this product

Product Information

12 cassettes / 15 HoursUnabridged Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story is a sublime and seductive reading experience. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this enormously engaging portrait of a most beguiling Southern city is certainto become a modern classic.

  • LOVE This Book!! Modern American CLASSIC

    I grew up in a southern town much like Savannah - not as elegant but with as many crazies and eccentrics per square foot. If your homeplace (southern or not) had it's share of "characters" and history, this book will entertain you tremendously too. "Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil" -THE Book - has it all! Great plot (based on a true story), fabulous, highly entertaining characters (based on true characters) and a marvelous travelogue on the sites and history of "America's most beautiful city". If you've been to Savannah you'll enjoy revisiting it in your mind's eye. If you haven't been to Savannah yet - you WILL after you read this. Savannah is waiting for you and they'll accomodate your interest in that copy of The Book that you will be carrying under your arm.

  • Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by J. Berendt

    I bought this audio book simply because I saw the movie and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to relive it with the "words" rather than the visual distractions. It was a product in mint condition (never opened) and offered as buy it now or best offer. I got it for a reasonable price; much less than if I purchased it at a retail store. Audio books are a nice diversion when traveling and this item fit the bill. I can "read" the book and get to my destination. The best offer feature is a significant attraction to me on ebay. That is the joy of ebay--finding something you would not go shopping for, but would enjoy having, and being able to offer a fair value price.

  • Long but Well Worth It

    Jeff Woodman is a masterful story teller. No, he isn't the author, he is the voice actor. Woodman has a dynamic range of characters and emotions. His reading makes you feel like you are right there next to the author or the characters. Berendt should be commended for such a fitting match to read his book aloud. This is unabridged so it is quite lengthy. I listen to books while in the art studio in place of music. With this audiobook I found myself working extended hours in the studio that I normally wouldn't put in. It was to meeting some deadline; it was to hear what would happen next.
