Superb!

I was leery of a performed interpretation. Others I've heard in the past were hokey. This was fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed it in every way. I can't say enough positive about this. The only tiny reservation: some of the accents were so authentic that it was difficult to make out certain words, or the occasional sentence. But don't let that stop you. This is a first rate production. Bravo Audible! I hope this inspires Audible to bring other classic novels to life. We would love to hear Moby Dick next…

Lots of heavy breathing and characters yelling over each other

I realllly wanted to like this book, but overall it was a let down. The story was so slow and very little happened for such a long book. The characters voices were great, however there was lots of fighting and thus heavy breathing and yelling which made it difficult to understand what they were saying at times.

Good portrayal

Often I have trouble with "the classics" because of the old time writing style not always matching up with my modern day brain. That was not as noticeable here, since the audio drama was well performed. Background sounds were well done and this will remind the listener of the old radio dramas, with much better sound quality.

An Audio Masterpiece

I got this book either for free or part of a daily deal and now that I've heard it, I would have paid full price. I thought that this would be more of a "multi-cast recording" with narration and different people doing the various characters. I would have enjoyed more of a narrative but this was still phenomenal!

Awesome!

Amazing book to listen to whilst at sea on delivery between Antigua & Newport. Had me dreaming of Captain John Silver at the helm of our own boat bringing us into harbor! LoL
