Book Reviews of Lord of the Flies
Book Review: SOMEBODY PLEASE RESCUE THIS BOOK FROM ITS AUTHOR
Summary: 1 Stars
This audio CD had me excited at first, at least until I actually played it. It's the most boring read of any story I've ever heard in my life. Golding's a great writer, but he ain't no reader. His own commentary in parts is distracting and irritating. His mouth noises unsettle me, and his slow, dull, expressionless rendering of this classaic grates on the spirit. Too bad an accomplished reader such as Roger Dressler or Garrick Hagon can't do this novel justice. It's just a damned shame is all.Book Review: Lord of the Flies Audio
Summary: 1 Stars
I have taught Lord of the Flies to my English classes for years. The kids love it. I read almost all of the book aloud, and my voice gets tired after reading period after period. I was so excited when I found the audio...until my class and I listened to it. The author reads the novel in a horridly monontone voice. It's sad that someone who writes so well, reads so badly.Book Review: Read the book instead
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a horrible audio book, read by the author. He offered an engaging prologue, but the reading of the book was just awful. The author was monotone, sighed while reading, and in general, sounded bored with the book. His reading does a disservice to the excellent story that he crafted.
