I received a set of these audio drama CD for a gift--before I even read the books--and have been amazed at the depth of acting and staging. The drama is well directed, with vibrant sound effects and voicings that help you imagine exactly what's happening. Plus the story is so engaging, that you can't help but develop your own vivid imagery in your mind as you listen to this. I had no trouble following the story line even though I hadn't read the books.The quality of the story line development far surpasses that of the movies because each book in the series has about 5 hours of audio (spread across 4 CDs) while the movie can only be about 2 hours long. Thus, with these audio dramas, you can delve further into character development without sacrificing the plot.Because of time constraints of this format, and its purely dramatic nature (no narration, just acting), however, you don't get the logical introduction of new characters and plot twists that are interwoven in the book version. Thus, introduction of new characters can leave you puzzled, thinking, "who is this person and how did they get involved?". (Example: the introduction of David Hassid's character)While the story keeps you riveted, the dynamic range is so wide that you have to keep adjusting the volume knob to accomodate the very quiet voicings and loud effects--there is no happy medium. Sometimes it's very loud, sometimes very quiet--all relevant to the storyline, of course. It's is not arbitrarily loud and quiet, just unevenly so.Each title in the series contains 4 CDs with 3 episodes on each, although the episodes don't equate to those in the book. Plus some sequences of events are slightly different than in the books to allow for better drama and storyline continuity.
