The narrator

First glimpse of the big fish

Enjoy short listening segments so I have something to look forward to the next day.

Went and got the movie a week later to see how they portrayed their theatre of the mind vs. mine

I am no skilled audiobook critic and it is clear from previous comments that there is no accounting for the taste of some readers. Forget about the fact that this book was written by one of the greatest ever; if you love the sea, admire human courage under impossible conditions and enjoy listening to the soothing sound of one of the top actors in the world, you should listen to this audiobook. Again and again...

The great story of The Old Man and the Sea read by Donald Sutherland was beautiful on every level. The simple prose combined with Sutherland's great voice was like a melody. I will listen to it again. And the story, well I needn't tell you how spectacularly poignant and perfect it is. Many have done so before me. Living on the coast in Mexico and having known a few wizened old pangeros, did help make the story strike a personal chord.

This classic was powerfully and patiently read by Donald Sutherland. The images were crisp and felt real, as if we were in the skiff itself with the old man. Even better than reading the book myself years ago!

I used this in a second of 3 books with a reluctant learner. We read the Outsiders, which many young men seem to like. Once we were through with that book and his interest was piqued, he agreed to try this book. The clarity of voice coupled with worksheets from EdHelper greatly encouraged this young man to read and now he is really reading for pleasure. He has graduated and tells me he fondly remembers "first liking to read" using this format. Of course the book is a classic and Hemingway relates well to those that like ironic adventures.

The richness of Hemingway's descriptions keeps you fully engrossed in this "slice of life" novel. The book has such depth and power!

I've read this book a number of times over the course of my life. But this was the first time I HEARD the poetry of Hemingway. Sutherland does a wonderful low key read, and of course it is Hemingway at his finest, arguably anyway. I can't recommend this enough!

I listened to this as I walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia.
I was the fisherman, I imagined his battles and struggles. I wanted to concentrate on the words and Hemingway's use of them - I truly loved this and I've already downloaded my next book!
I can't recommend this story enough.

An honestly great book!

One of the best books I have listened to in a while. Hemingway's words painted a picture in my mind so vivid that I could smell the salt air and feel the boat rocking against the waves as he battled the big fish. Of course the story goes deeper than just battling the big fish and I will leave the rest of the details for you to discover on your own. This is a classic and the narration by Donald Sutherland is just another plus!!
