He's been called "the best film actor Hollywood has ever known". His marvelous performances in classic movies like Captains Courageous, Adam's Rib, Bad Day at Black Rock, and Inherit the Wind endowed him with a tough, solid humorous image - one that was totally at odds with his own personality. The play opens in 1967 when Tracy was in poor health and struggling to complete what would be his final film, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

The story and Chris Hendrie’s performance
create an insightful portrait of one of America’s greatest stage and screen actors. And thanks to Druxman’s personal knowledge of Tracy’s up and down personal life plus Hendrie’s skillful confessional thru Tracy’s own wry observations we get to know this complicated man. A-plus stuff.

In the summer of 1816, Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley - the two great poets of their age - and a lovely 17-year-old named Mary Shelley were partying and reading ghost stories on the shores of Lake Geneva. They dared each other to come up with the scariest story. Young Mary was the only one to rise to the challenge, and she gave birth to the entire horror and science fiction genres by crafting a brilliant and chilling account of what it means to be human, what responsibilities we have to each other, and how far we can go in tampering with nature.

Narrator excellence brings classic to life
Revisado: 11-07-16
The gradual pace Shelley uses to present her characters and their setting is singly spoken by Chris Hendrie as gradually the plot quickens. Despite knowing the lineaments of this famous tale we are drawn in by the complicated details Shelly uses to
build the atmosphere from which the horror and tension grow. We have a lockstep grasp of the plot lines from all the versions we've seen. In fact this is a beautifully
written novel and Hendrie utilizes all his skill in bringing us Shelley's full story with all the scientific wonder of her time and the terrible results from seeking to change the nature of life.
Thanks to Chris Hendrie we experience Shelley's
creation intensely. You've not heard this full tale before.

Great Narration
Revisado: 09-08-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I recommend it because it is Hesse's most beautiful story.
What other book might you compare Siddhartha to and why?
Life of Pi??
Have you listened to any of Chris Hendrie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have heard Gatsby and Treasure Island, and Metamorphosis - this is hard to compare since it is more of an epic poem than a "novel".
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
No Keanu Reeves!
Any additional comments?
Yes, I wrote a review and you lost it This is a beautifully rendered version of "Siddhartha" that captures the music of Hesse's tone and rhythm - Chris Hendrie's skills bring out the respect and love Hesse had for the life of this great teacher - in a voice that is captivating.
