| | Customer Reviews: Excellent adaptation (20 November 2007)This is a wonderful adaptation. The acting is really great - the voices are perfect in my mind, particularly Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, the gyptians... Lord Asriel's seems perhaps strange to start with, but before long he seems great for the job. I agree with the above that the adaptations could have merited from being a bit longer - but having read the books and then listened to these it's not actually that noticable. The adapters have done well in condensing it to this space, spending most time on the most important bits - the end of the first book, for example. The adapters clearly have a great love of the book and Lavinia Murray has done a great job into adapting into two CDs worth, and the acting is really great. Highly recommended! The Mind Boggles... (15 July 2004)This is an engrossing and thought provoking book, that has been transformed into an engrossing and thought provoking audio adaption. It certaininly made me look forward to sitting in traffic on the way to work. Pullman's imagination and radical ideas are well worth the listen, and this BBC recording does it justice. I highly recommend it. Silence from Eastbourne to Birmingham (07 June 2004)We've only listened to Northern Lights so far, but the only sound I heard from the back of the car for the whole three hour journey was a moan of disappointment when I pulled in the services and turned the car stereo off. Bliss at any price ! The story of Lyra really comes to life and we can so easily understand her, and her growing, as the character develops. This is a must for both adults and children alike who enjoy drifting off into other worlds and experiencing new, exciting and most of the time dangerous adventures. A thumbs up from me!! | |
