With the listen

Revisado: 04-14-21

I thought the book was interesting. It was a different perspective from what I usually read. The narrator was at times very robotic, but if you could get past that sometimes he actually put some emotion into his reading. Overall I would recommend it.

Finished this is 2 days - Fantastic!

Revisado: 12-30-13

This was, a fantastic book. Really. Usually, I don't like the books that are too long, but this one - I wish it went on longer. The performance was spot on, the story was so interesting - historical without feeling like you were sitting in a history class, and I liked that it was a different point of view. The only thing that I didn't like, was the last too word - the end. I will be looking into other books by this author, and I hope the same person narrates it.

Better than Disney

Revisado: 12-27-13

I grew up watching Disney movies, so I was familiar with this story, but the book is, as is often the case, so much better. The story is similar, but much more believable, and although I knew the ending, I couldn't stop listening! I enjoyed the narrator - I thought the voices he did were good, I loved the different accents that were done. The book showed the prejudices of the time / era, and I liked that - Disney took all of that away. I recommend this book.

I was expecting something different

Revisado: 10-02-12

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I wanted to hear the entire speech. What I got was snippets of the speech. Not being there when the speech was delivered, this is disappointing for me because I want to know what was left out. When people edit books or speeches, you receive their point of view. I wanted the whole speech so I could make up my mind about the speech. But - I didn't pay anything for it, so I can't complain that much.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

What was interesting was the history and the mood of the speeches. Very interesting

What three words best describe the narrator’s performance?

Well - the narrator was JFK - so it was good!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It was interesting for what I heard, but again - I would have preferred the entire speech.

A wonderful quick story for adults and children

Revisado: 09-24-12

Would you listen to The Ring of the King again? Why?

I would and have listened to the recording. It is very enjoyable and a quick diversion during a hectic day.

What other book might you compare The Ring of the King to and why?

I could compare it to any folktale type of book.

Which character – as performed by Alan Rickman – was your favorite?

I am a HUGE fan of Alan Rickman, and I love the way that he narrates books. This story is read well, the different characters have different voices, but they don't sound silly, and I think it's the story itself that really appeals to me, although I have to admit, I bought it first because Mr. Rickman was narrating it.

Any additional comments?

Well worth the buy.
