Unabridged Audiobook
I\'ve looked forward to this book for a long time. I can\'t express how disappointed I was at the narrator\'s first utterance. My stomach sank. I knew instantly I couldn\'t continue. I\'ve completed over 700 volumes and this person was the weakest performer I\'ve ever heard. \r\n\r\nI hope that in the future the producers will be more particular when they hire talent to perform these classics.
Horrendous stream of thoughtlessness for the readers deceived by the accolades. The literary elite join the literary “experts” obviously afraid to break ranks. The descriptions of the functions of the bowels and sexual anatomy are substandard and reflect only the perversion of the characters, the author and idle minds that later promoted pointless jumble. These are far better woven in literature of that time, explicit and necessary and as a contribution to the theme and plots.
Regretfully purchased this. Narrator put me to sleep
I was so looking forward to having this as an audiobook. I only listened to the sample. Needless to say, I’ll save my credit for something else. The narration is horrid. It sounds like a LibriVox recording. From the first, the narrator stumbles and repeats himself. So disappointing. I’m crossing my fingers that a decent version will be released in the near future.
Ulysses in a Canadian accent with all the place names mispronounced? No, not when Joyce so painstakingly and meticulously identified each and every site named in the book.
Although the narrator for Molly Bloom read well, having anyone but a sexythroated Irish woman read for Molly-especially the Penelope chapter-is an artistic travesty. SO disappointed !
