The following comments are for the CD audio book version of "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. This audio book collection consists of 19 CD's with a total playtime of approximately 22 hours. Focus on the Family Radio Theatre has undertaken to record the seven Narnia books. The end product is a masterwork of audio dramatization. These books are brought to life with a cast of over one hundred actors, an original orchestral score, and cinema-quality digital sound design. Each CD is indexed into numbered tracks of 10 to 14 minuets lengths. The audio quality is uniformly excellent. This listener found all actors to be fine speakers whose clear pronunciation and moderate pacing a pleasure to listen too. The British accents added to the pleasure of my listening experience. At first I thought I would be overwhelmed with all the fanfares, sound effects and the multiple voices. After all I was use to one individual reading out loud a novel, clearly articulated but just a voice. I soon found these dramatizations uniformly excellent and enjoyable. I wish I had this set when my children were pre-teens then I would have another reason for listening to this set again.On minor negative comment: I was not happy with the packaging of this set of 19CD's They are housed in a tri-fold LP size binder. It takes up a lot of room and it is a chore to remove the disk.
I think this book was the 2nd audio book I've ever listened to and it spoiled me forever! The way it's done is fantastic, almost like you are watching a film. Each character in the story is read by a different actor, the music score is outstanding, the narrator does a great job. I wish I can find other audio books this good... suggestions anyone?
Excellent! I purchased this set for my 8 year old daughter and she loves them! She listens to her CD player every night while she is going to sleep. She loves listening to audio books and absolutely loves these. Great stories with Christian morals and values! I highly recommend these to kids of most ages....and adults!
This is an epic story. So much going on. Fully dramatised. Looks like this has been re- released a few times, but the content is exactly the same. The momment I started playing this it caught my kids attention. They were like wow what is this. They all stopped what they were doing and just listened. I actually got this on sale for 50 cents how could I go wrong, so I bought 2 sets.
TIP: This version is the same as another one that is much pricier. Compare & save with this version. The person I bought this for as a gift absolutely loves it, and has listened to it over & over again. He said that it was a lot of fun to listen to, with the drama, actors & music.
My kids are 6 and 11. There are mornings where the 6yo says excitedly to the 11yo "Wanna go downstairs and listen to Narnia?" and they both run excitedly to the stereo.This particular version is not just an audible read, but dramatized--so it's fascinating for the kids. And the holder is a work of art in and of itself.My only regret is not waiting to use it on a 15-hour road trip!
I was so pleased with the product when it arrived - even the presentation of the package was done well. We have been listening to the stories in the car and they are being enjoyed by kids and grown ups alike. Highly recommend these classic tales of adventure for good clean family entertainment. Captivating sound effects and drama. The product arrived in a very timely manner just as described - would definitely purchase from this vendor again!
I loved these audio books. The professional presentation of C.S. Lewis' book series is appealing to any age. I have played it for my high school students and it definitely kept their attention. These are a great investment. I intend to share them with my grandchildren.
