- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A brave attempt, by a congenial group of readers. Some chapters are read better than others, no doubt. Despite the shortcomings of this performance, I think Joyce would have approved, with a hearty laugh, because the manner of reading expresses in direct form, some of the subject matter of the book, the love and conviviality of friends. All that being said, however, this great work of literature deserves a truly faithful adherence to the text. I hope this group can do the necessary study and preparation, and try again, perhaps inserting revised sections for parts that didn't go so well the first time.
I also appreciate very much the Irish fiddle playing that introduces various sections.
I have only listened so far to the first part of chapter one, so there may be other sections that are read with greater accuracy and feeling.
At the very least, this performance encourages the listener to go back and read this wonderful book in the original, and that is a great service in itself.2 people found this helpful
