- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the book, but I wish there was another narrator. There is a disconnect in the way he reads to the original meaning in my opinion, everything comes across as quite somber and serious regardless of the context. Additionally, it was a bit difficult to imagine a group of young men engaging in active discussion when everything is read in a slow older voice. I had to spend the entirety of the book repeating everything in my own head to get a better feeling of the book.
Highly recommend the book - an excellent classic, I'm sure you know. I don't recommend this audio recording and would advise listening elsewhere or reading the printed version.
