Good Reading, But Not Dramatized

I can't give this any less than five stars because:

1. It is the KJV (best translation IMO)
2. It's the Word of God

The good: excellent readers, calming background music, beautiful and timeless KJV text

The bad: calling this "dramatized" is a stretch. There are almost no sound effects and the voices are reading, not acting. This is far from the Word of Promise or the Bible Experience (also available on Audible). It is read too fast at times, which is disappointing because the KJV needs to be read slowly, in order to meditate upon the text and contemplate it's meaning. It sounds to me that the reading was sped up in places because it sounds choppy. The music rarely matches the mood. It is obvious to me that Zondervan didn't pay much attention to the music and probably just placed it on a continuous cycle.

I will say that Faith Comes by Hearing has produced an excellent KJV audio Bible that is actually dramatized with sound effects and great acting. Furthermore, it's free. The music is a mixed bag but it is a great production for free.

Other reviewers have already pointed out the trouble Audible has with chapter divisions.

This is a good audio Bible, but it is not dramatized. Don't go in thinking dramatization in the sense of sound effects and dramatic music. It is basically a good multiple voice reading (probably about 50 readers - some play many roles) with background music that doesn't quite fit the mood.

Nice reading voice

I am enjoying it so far. I love that they tell you about the book of the bible you are about to read before they start the chapter. Glad I choose this one.

Love this book

This book is easy to navigate, I had no problems with this book, I been using it for two years. I am weigh satisfied with my purchase of this book.

Thank God for this!

This is the best bible for me right now. The illustration is like. Movie on TV with your eyes closed. My husband and three teenagers like it as well. I can listen in the car on the way to work if I oversleep. Such a great idea. The only setback is you can't tell where specific scriptures are. I just look it up at night so I can just turn on in morning.

I was surprised that not all of this audiobook is dramatized with different voices representing various characters. That being said, it is accurately read by those who contributed, & I'm truly enjoying it; this is my favorite audio to listen to as i travel down the road.
