Eugene Onéguine

Eugene Onéguine (Eugene Onegin) by Alexander Pushkin, translated by Henry Spalding

Eugene Onegin is told in strict verse form and would probably be more appreciated in the original Russian. The protagonist is a rich youth who thinks of himself better than others. Alas, his life does not go as well as he would like for it to go.

Zorgamazoo

Zorgamazoo by Robert Paul Weston

Zorgamazoo is written entirely in rhyming verse - quite impressive for an audiobook that spans 3 hours. It talks about an adventure. It feels like a Dr, Seuss book, but it goes on for much longer. It is a somewhat science-fictiony adventure. The details didn't really stick.
