This review is in reference to the "Alien Voices" CD audio presentation of the "Lost World" by Sir Athur Conan Doyle. The adaptation by Alien voices was excellent. The voices of Star Treks' John de Lancie and Leonard Nimoy were remarkable. These two readers along with a powerful orchestra accompaniment provide a thrilling and engaging rendition of this classic. Very satisfying indeed.The only qualm I have is the reworking of the plot and characters. I think that the plot reworking made the story easier to tell but not to listen. There were many events that would not have made sense to me unless I had previously read the work.Over all a decent script of a superb classic with a wonderfully choreographed production.
Last night I curled up with my 5 month old son to listen to the much anticipated audio novel "The Lost World". I was not disappointed. I would like to thank Lenard Nimoy, John Delancy and the rest of the team for bringing this novel to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the superior production even though the story itself was kind of convaluted (hard to follow). I look forward to more audio drama's from your team.
I loved listening to this Alien Voices cd. I first borrowed it at my local library and couldn't stop listening to it! It gives a very 'old radio' feeling (which I also love) and the cast was perfectly done. Though I am also a 'purist' (I always perfer the original story than abridged or amended) those things I quickly ended up letting them go because this was so funny and entertaining! Now I'm looking to see if I can find the actual video of this Alien Voices production. I can't recommend this enough! If you love those 'old radio' broadcasts and love those fun Star Trek characters...this is the one for you!
Most of these reviews address the book not how the production did with its presentation of the book. My opinion, it was wonderful. I know its a generalization but I wish more audio books were like this, like old 50's radio shows. It makes the book become alive. The casting was well-done. The voices are what I imagined them to be, maybe better. If only one person was narrorating this book (like most are done now) then this book probably wouldn't be as much fun to listen to on CD. So, if you have a choice to either listen to one voice or many voices with some amusing sound effects, pick the latter.
I heard this a long time ago and have wanted it ever since. It is great hearing all these familiar voices and it's a really cool story to listen to too.Great entertainment.
