Outstanding

I learned of this book from John Senior's list of books at the end of the Death of Christian Culture. The older English of Pyle's composition is beautiful and was educational for my children. The stories themselves are delightful. Finally, I cannot praise the reader enough: just listen to a sample. He does wonderfully with different character types.

An outstanding reader

Any additional comments?

Neil Hunt does an outstanding job with the characters' voices in his reading of Treasure Island. Before purchasing this particular unabridged reading, I sampled perhaps a dozen of the options available at Audible. Most of them I was able to rule out because of poor audio quality. I only hesitated about Hunt's reading because the narrative sections in the sample he seemed to read a trifle faster than was necessary, as though in a great haste to tell the story. But having come to the end of the book, I was so delighted with his handling of the dialogue between the characters that I can see I made the right choice in buying this recording. The story is a classic, of course, and while nothing profound, it is a great deal of fun. I highly recommend this audio book.
