Great book, tedious performance!

Would you listen to The Book of Mormon again? Why?

I would listen to it and have listened to it, in another format. I loved the book read by a different narrator. However, this narrator, Sean Criden, did a real amateurs job of it. The book is divided, like the bible, into chapters and verses. Sean Criden begins each verse with, "The book of_____, chapter___, verse____", then reads the few sentences in the verse. He then starts the next verse with the same, "The book of _______, chapter________, verse______." Considering there are many many verses in each chapter, this format makes virtually impossible to get imersed in the plot and content of the book.

What did you like best about this story?

The best thing about this story, is the story itself. It's the history of an ancient people who believed in Jesus Christ, in the Americas. It's powerful and a beautiful book. I love how it's messages have changed my own life. However, you'd have a real hard time experiencing that from this audio version.

What didn’t you like about Sean Criden’s performance?

If he didn't begin each little verse in the book with a long reference to the book name, chapter and verse number, you mean? Well, he would still be hard to listen to. He reminds me of my middle school math teacher... monotone. Again, get a free copy of this book from the church, buy a hard copy anywhere else or download the better narrator from mormon dot org, instead.

Wonderful to have scriptures in audio.

What made the experience of listening to The Book of Mormon the most enjoyable?

The Book of Mormon is very dear to my heart and I love the story very much. It is a comfort and lift in my life.

What did you like best about this story?

As it is scripture, I love the words of admonition and encouragement it give me.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The biggest distraction was the way the verses are presented. I did not like that he repeated the chapter and verse number before each verse was read. It would have been less distracting and more enjoyable for him to simply read the chapter notes then to read continuously through the chapter.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There are too many moments to list even one specific one.

Well Read

This reading of the BoM is nice. It is not reading the verse numbers as some have stated, so maybe that was redone. It does read the chapter number, which is nice in my opinion.

spiritual

I enjoyed this book very much. It can be used in my daily life. thanks

BEST,. Most Faith Promoting book. Love it!

Fabulous book! Faith Promoting words. Supports Bible. Strengthens peace in life and LOVE of God. Naration sometimes lacking, readi g is better. Still, I highly recommend!

Needs individual chapters

This is an easy way to read the Book of Mormon. I just wish it was divided into individual chapters so I can easily find where I am if I decide to read a little without listening to it.
