Daniel

Such a captivating reader

Revisado: 09-18-24

Alexander Scourby always does a good job reading the bible but I think he ESPECIALLY shines on the Bible's narrative portions! And when it comes to narrating story, Scourby's reading is never any better than here in Jonah. "Out of the belly of hell cried I! The earth with her bars was about me... forever!" You can FEEL Jonah's angst throughout. Most excellent.

I just like Rupert

Revisado: 01-15-24

Though I don't agree with a lot of his philosophical views and his notion of morphic resonance isn't
exactly my cup of tea, (Among other shortcomings, it lacks any sort of creative specificity).... still, I'm glad I gave this book a chance. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.... well... at the end of the day, I just like the guy. I like ol Rupert. He'd be a ton of fun to hang out with on a rainy afternoon to chat on history, science, religion, philosophy, and blue tit birds & their glory days of cream. You'll have to get this book to understand what that's all about.

Sheldrake's mind is always refreshing to hear from, if for no other reason than his fresh kid-in-candystore approach to science is infectious and the subject matter he covers is thought provoking. My own interpretation of the data is often very different from his, but he's a pleasant tour guide through a big diversity of topics.

And a bonus here: he reads his own audiobook - which I think is almost always preferable.

Chapter 2 especially

Revisado: 05-24-23

This book is masterfully read. The narrator truly was gifted and anointed to give voice to the biblical text. Chapter 2 especially "WRITE THE VISION, and make it plain upon tables" is read with a prescient urgency: the sort of tone such powerful & contemporarily-relevant words warrant.

Anointed narration of the English bible. The best.

Revisado: 05-06-21

The narrator correctly captures the tone & various emphases of each book, chapter, and verse of the bible. To these ears anyway. I especially like his readings of Matthew, Mark, 2 Corinthians, Exodus, 2 Peter, 1 John, the Psalms.

AUDIBLE, please upload the remainder of Scourby's bible narration; at time of this review, only roughly half the books are available on your site. Missing: Deuteronomy, Proverbs, Job, Isaiah, Daniel, Revelation, and many others!

Just wish Audible had ALL the Scourby Bible books

Revisado: 04-27-21

This is great. The chapter markings and app which has 10% playback speed increments make audible so much nicer to listen to than YouTube BUT it’s a big bummer that Audible only has ~half the 66 books of the Old and New Testamebt by Scourby! I’m going to call customer care and request the remainder be made available!

Juliet Stevenson -- not perfect -- but CLOSE

Revisado: 07-01-12

Where does Middlemarch rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best audiobooks I've listened to.

Have you listened to any of Juliet Stevenson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Juliet Stevenson is always fantastic. This might be my favorite of her narrations, though.

Who was the most memorable character of Middlemarch and why?

Rosamond. Stevenson (and Eliot) depicts her in her complexity brilliantly.

Any additional comments?

If you're considering M-march as an audiobook, ignore reviewers recommending other narrators (a few of which I've listened to as well), GET JULIET STEVENSON.
