- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/51 star because almost every chapter is incomplete, making the whole unreadable, but +1 for Marx, whose theories are now more salient than ever, and +1 for the narrator, whose inflection makes Marx's long-winded sentences much easier to comprehend.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This short political treatise was very surprisingly disappointing. I have studies the History of Communist Russia quite often and I have a solid background in the ideas and practices of Communism. I understand that the Communism of Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin was not completely true to what Marx and Engels envisioned. I was hoping that by reading the Manifesto, I would be able to see what true Communism was supposed to be. It turns out that the ideas are mainly theory and simply arguments against any forms of capitalism. While I can understand the intense antagonism that existed in the mid 19th-century, these ideas no longer seem appropriate. The lives of the working classes have greatly improved, while there is still a great disparity of wealth, the Communist idea seems truly outdated.
