Unabridged Audiobook
One couldn't expect anything less than a Samual Butler translation of this unflagging magnum opus! Nonetheless, some narrators' orations were much poorer than others since this entire tome seems to be devoted to. one different narrator per book (chapter). Thus some narrators accelerated at such ridiculous speeds nearly to the point that comprehension became compromised. I'd rather choose one solid narrator throughout. . . If it were my choice
This is a famous story, I am a fan of Homer but the way this was put together is straight awful, each chapter changes narrators, some of which pronounce things differently, they also have various mic quality, some are horrible and have ringing in the background, they also explain every chapter that it’s being recorded to archive it or something, the whole thing should be free since that’s what the goal seemed like, get this story somewhere else
As somebody new to Greek/ Roman mythology and trying to grasp the rank and family tree of the Gods I had to look it up several times realizing the Gods were reffered to by their Roman equivalent and not the traditional Greek such as Jove or Jupiter instead of Zeus
Among all of the classics I personally read while young, The Odyssey was one that stirred imagination. This reading of the book was done with excellent quality. The characters were well portrayed and the original story was captured with zeal.
Horrible recording
Awful. Poor narration ruined it. Fast. Fake. And gross.
Awful audio quality and bad narrators.
Difficult listen Made more so by multiple narators. A story full of repetative descriptions.
Amazing classic! There are numerous different narrators but it was still awesome!
Read by a variety of different narrators, some of which are excellent and really bring this classic tale to life.
