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.

A surprisingly fun twist to narration

The story has stood the test of time and I started out skeptical. I should have known better as I found myself sitting in my car waiting to hear what happens next before I went inside.

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

Great!

A clean-cut professional pirate story. A perfect time filler perfect for a long day at work.

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.

Screen play

I’m not a huge fan of this format. And probably will not waste my time on another one.. not what I like in an audio book.

wonderful performance of a classic

The overall performance of this classic story is captivating and brings all the characters to life. It remains sensitive to the subtleties of the story such as true wealth and character, while entertaining the reader with a swashbuckling tale. All evidences as to why this story has remained a staple in classic literature.

Excellent Production

The cast in this audio book did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life! The only complaint I have is there were long silences between transitions!
