Treasure Island

The narrator really brought this classic to life. His changes in tone and speaking mannerisms truly has to be heard to be appreciated. I was engulfed once again in this classic tale of buccaneers. A must have!

The biggest irritation of this audiobook is the fact that it was clearly harvested from a prior CD book. The phrase "This is the end of the CD. The program continues on the next CD." quickly becomes tiresome. When they merged the works, they could have easily dropped these lines.

The audio quality, at first, seems slightly better than marginal, but as the narrator progresses, these quips melt away. The story comes through and draws the listener in.

The work certainly would benefit from a fuller cast and better apparent sound quality, but the work succeeds at its current level.

The biggest plus is the price. This price allows the listener to enjoy the work despite its short-comings.

Overall, I'd recommend it while at the the same time acknowledging that I believe I would have enjoyed a more lively production. I still may.

Guys, this recording sounds like it came from a can. Poor quality, I am glad I used my FREEBIE to get it. I am cancelling my membership if this is the best audible.com offers.

This one was a pure delight. Stevenson's brilliantly woven narrative makes a gripping storyline. It was also fascinating to understand how much popular culture borrows from his work. It was definitely a classic worth the time.

Narrator does an excellent job!!

Who could not like "Treasure Island", Long John Silver, Jim Hawkins, the Admiral Benbow Inn? The quintessential pirate treasure tale, Stevenson's work is a better listen than read; I've found this true with much late 1800, early 1900 literature (like Huckleberry Finn). The reader does a great job. If your only experience has been printed, try a listen.

Treasure Island is THE classic tale of a treasure hunt. From treacherous pirates and marooned swash bucklers to buried treasure and battles on the seas you better not be caught off guard! The reader has a pleasant voice to listen to and a moderate pace to hold your interest. I highly recommend this "read" to anyone looking for a crack into the world of fantasy/adventure. There is a reason Treasure Island has withstood the test of time!

Great story that is really well read. Excellent!!

I had not read this book since high school, some forty years ago. How many memories this audiobook brought back! The reader is a genius. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story is fast-paced and the adventure holds up well. Fun for all ages.
