The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling by Henry Fielding
3.0
3.5 stars (extra half star for the ending). I was a little surprised at the bawdy nature of this 18th-century novel. Fielding's humor and Bill Homewood's excellent narration kept me going through the 29 CDs. Also engaging was Fielding's dialogue, which made up for the wordy philosophical ramblings. I must admit to spacing out during the latter - particularly in the first chapters of each "book" - but thankfully, Fielding's narrator gives the reader permission to do so.
