Moby Dick is an excellent book. This recording is truly bad. Burt Reynolds voices are not at all fit for the main characters and are also very difficult to understand at times. This was a disappointing listen for our family vacation. We didn't even finish it.
Who would ever think that Burt Reynolds could read a classic so well?It is such a contrast to those silly films he made. So much so, that itis risky recommending such a book to friends. You'd instantly lose credibility.But, it is what it is. This audiobook is well done and fun to listen to.It's the only reading of Moby Dick that i could listen to for any length of time.The regret is that this version is abridged. The publisher would be wise tohire Burt to read those unread parts to make the book unabridged. In themeantime, buy this CD, and enjoy it. If you loan it to friends, just don't mentionit was read by Burt. Let them find out, like I did, after hearing the 1st chapter,I looked at the CD case to find out who was reading this book.
Burt reads the book in a bad accent. I can't tell if it's Irish, Scottish or English. Don't buy this.
Reynolds does so many different voices, and he does them consistently. This is a novel acted beautifully through Reynold's vocal control and ability to emote. A jem, truly.
