reader, has no clue how to read scriptures

narrator repeats verse numbers multiple times for every verse. he doesn't know how to read

Best book I have ever read

Studying and pondering great literature is my favorite pastime. The Book of Mormon was especially profound in its witness and testament of the Lord Jesus Christ. I loved it and leaned powerful principles that have helped me to be a better wife, mother and person. I highly recommend it. FYI: The Book was not written by Joseph Smith, it was translated by him.

This recording has been vastly improved!

Just downloaded this and found that Audible has removed the chapter and verse citings from the recording. It is now so much more enjoyable to listen to. So curious why they don't note this in the description or mark it as another edition. Yes, the narrator could have done a better job (compare this to Max McLean's narration in the Listener's Bible for instance) but it's so much improved from before that I am not going to complain.Thank you, Audible!
Edit 12/14/2019: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has now added their own edition to Audible and it is a much better recording than this one.

Repeating chapter and verse

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

NO

Would you be willing to try another one of Sean Criden’s performances?

No

Any additional comments?

The reader repeats chapter and verse for EVERY verse and it is extremely ANNOYING and unnecessary. Do NOT buy this book unless you want to pull your hair out.

monotone

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was excited to listen to the Book of Mormon. However, the reader was monotone, and it was evident that he hadn't read the pronunciation of some of the names in the Book of Mormon. While it was great to have the Book of Mormon on Audible, there are better versions from the Church.

Love this book! fills my heart with joy

have listened to this book several times, I have prayed and asked if it was true, and I know it's on my heart and soul it is It is God's word and a testament of Jesus Christ visit to the Americas after he was resurrected.

Hard to Judge such workmanship

No matter how many times I read this book I’m taken from the image of someone who is writing parallel storylines, then the pages and pages of or or or or just to make sure he covers all the bases he stole it or he gave it or he received it or or or then to the pages of acting like a compass is a new magical gift or serpents killing everything and eating raw flesh and then the pages of exact duplicates of the 1611 & 1625 versions when he had to get back to preaching parts. The whole time I try to be open to possibilities but just feel like I cannot barely stand the lies. One of my favorite imagines is what is done with “LukeWarm” but I kept reading...

Anyway of course like always I recommend reading and more reading.

A person can never read enough, though do keep in mind GIGO -garbage in garbage out, so try not to offend the followers with questions they cannot answer, because they obviously will not be able to answer them.

If you would like to discuss parts feel free to write me and we will look at the text together and not focus on the writers life choices because to start a religion without a huge govt like we have now was very easy imagine going with a band across the landscape and all of the sudden you don’t want to believe anymore... where will you get your food.

Just too funny, like now the network of a church non profit business model is immense and to get out well... see how easily it is to discuss factors of control, so we will just talk text how about that. So this time I will give 3 stars for years of mind manipulating effort.

Meanwhile read and read more. I think I will top this off with another reading of the Koran.

Good book but...

What did you like best about The Book of Mormon? What did you like least?

Love the book but the presentation was terrible. Sean Crisden was great however the book was hard to navigate and heaven help if you lost your place. Also, the chapter and verse were repeated (the verse twice) before every verse which was quite annoying.

The Book of Mormon

This is an incredible and inspired record!

I highly recommend it!

I plan to listen to it again and again.

The Truth

Each time I read or listen, it strengthens my belief. It’s a must read to help see the truth.
