Sabatini Made Entertaining

Reviewed: 08-26-20

I've been a fan of Rafael Sabatini since high school. For me, his endless imagination and plotting his adventures were always fun...like a jigsaw puzzle to figure out...Now as I say this, Mr. Sabatini is not always easy to read, either. He can be quite thick in description for some, although if you love words as I do, you revel in how many different ways he can describe the same scene in various parts of a novel. CAPTAIN BLOOD is great at that.

The reader here is the marvelous Kevin Theis, who has developed into one of the best audio actor/readers around. His clipped, articulate tone...his interest in giving every sentence the proper weight and attention...and here, in his obvious love for the author, Mr. Theis puts us on his vocal ship and steers us expertly through the challenges of Peter Blood. And on occasion, you actually find yourself as a fly on the wall, wishing you were sailing with the crew. It's a ride anyone would enjoy, once they allow themselves the pleasure of such a professional, enjoyable audio experience.

Mr. Theis is among the best. His captivating read of CAPTAIN BLOOD will make you become a fan, as I have.
