What did you like best about The Magic Skin? What did you like least?
Did the real narrator call in sick? Does this narrator not have more than a passing familiarity with the English language? Yes, apparently, on both counts.First of all, five stars for Balzac because, well, Balzac. It's a fantastic story, but I'm afraid it's rendered unbearable by this reader.
Remember when kids would be called upon to read passages of a story out loud by the teacher in grade school? Remember their flat, unremarkable, dispassionate dictations? That's what you get with this reader who can't even pronounce many English words (conjuring becomes con-JUR-ing in his hands), much less the French accents. A computerized LibriVox version would be preferable to this. John Cleese's silly French knight in "Holy Grail" was more believeable.
Unfortunately, this one is a pass.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Magic Skin?
That freeing moment when I decided to read the kindle version instead.How could the performance have been better?
Simon Vance or the late Frederick Davidson.Could you see The Magic Skin being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Not really.He puts the em-PHASIS on the wrong syll-ABLES

The entire thing was so prolonged and for no reason. The only decent lines in it worth the philosophical discussion are the ones used in the book description, so you could save a lot of time by just reading that.
Could have been a short story

I found the reading itself disappointing. When the characters speak, the reader uses a strange prody of an Eastern European accent--think Pepe le Pew meets Dracula. He also lowers his voice, and kind of growls which is odd, since for the most part, the characters are are very young--in their 20's. This sounds like no French person I've ever known (and I know many), and worse, is often impossible to understand.
When you *can* understand it, this strange accent seems to mock the characters, the story, the French...What a shame! I kept vowing I would not listen through to the end, but it is such a good story,such a great author, and my commute is SOOOO long, I was able to muscle hrough it.
