It"s Not Unabridged

This was an excellent book by John Wyndham, and I was hoping to really enjoy it.

Unfortunately, while Audible says that it is unabridged, it is actually abridged, and at least one large and important chunk is completely omitted. I have now reported this to Audible customer service.

While I was listening to it, there seemed to be strange jumps, however I assumed that the problem was with my memory and that the novel wasn"t as good as I remembered.. Finally, I started on the section called "Phase Three". It seemed as though a lot of material had been left out. Sure enough, I checked my copy of the paperback novel, and there were a lot of pages skipped over in the audio book.

Entertaining, but could have been better

The story was quite entertaining, and some of the performers were quite good. Unfortunately, two of the main performers were very difficult to understand. Specifically, the performer who played Sybil sounded like she had a lisp, and the performer who played Kate had a sort of squeaky voice. If this had been a video production, I would have turned on closed captioning; however, with an audio recording, all I could do was play some sections over and over and over.

Good Book if you like Gratuitous Violence

The first 1.5 hours of the story were fairly light and entertaining; however, the story suddenly had a scene filled with gratuitous violence where the main character is attacked and has part of her ear ripped off followed by scenes where her husband and children seem totally unconcerned and even want to see her wound.

Excellent Story & Superb Dramatization

I read this book many years ago, and always regarded it as one of Arthur C. Clarke"s two best works. When I purchased this audiobook, I was expecting a standard narration. Instead, the people involved in this production actually dramatized it without leaving out a single word from the original. Moreover, it is an superb dramatization.

Listening to this audio play was really enjoyable. I hadn"t realized just how much I missed watching the Buffy and Angel television shows until I had the chance to listen to this production. While it didn"t have Buffy, Angel or Willow, it had so many of the other characters that it didn"t really matter. The writing was excellent. It was obvious that Amber Benson put a lot of thought into both the plot and the characterizations.

The performances were all excellent, particularly James Marsters as Spike.

My only regret is that there were some words I just couldn"t get, usually because of background music; and there is no text that I can check, so I"ll never know what I missed.

Background Sound Effects were Much Too Loud

I would have given this 5 stars, except that it was frequently difficult to easily hear what the actors were saying. The background sound effects were almost constant, frequently unnecessary and much too loud. On the other hand, the performances were excellent and of course, the story was very enjoyable.
