She

By: H. Rider Haggard

Narrated by: Alan Munro

One of the best-selling books of all time, with over 100 million copies sold in 44 different languages. The novel was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print.

Follow the journey of Horace Holly and his ward, Leo Vincey, to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated.

This is the blueprint for the Indiana Jones series.

Classic

A classic in the truest sense of the word. Excellent story & outstanding prose. The reader did a great job with a lovely voice.

You will go bald listening to this story.

The reader's constant pauses at every single sentence just destroyed the flow of thought of the story. It was by pure will that I finished it. But I am now bald cause I pulled out all of my hair in frustration.

This Classic Needs A British Voice

The story is still cracking. The narrator is fine but American and he does not have the cultural background to understand nuance.

What details

Hard to get through as every little thing seems to have to be described in detail. Still a good story.

Quite a yarn

Even though on audible, the reader was really terrible and uninspiring to the imagination, this vivid book captured my attention. For one written, so long ago with no predecessors it’s truly impressive. Compelling plot, and storyline. Totally bizarre characters. An almost believable fantasy. If you want to be transported back to the days of Flash Gordon and Tarzan, read this book.
