over dramatized, very tough listen

had a very hard time listening to this dramatization. the tone and the over dramatized dialog made this difficult to listen to

One of the Best!!

Adaptation and abridgment were to perfection!

The cast were so convincing one would think they were real!

A true classic production of a true classic!

strange

hard to follow off and on. I think it was a good story. not bad

muddled accents

Some of accents hard to understand. When you have to concentrate to understand dialogue, you lose the pleasure of an audiobook.

Say What!?

It's a good dramatization, overall. However, if only audiobooks could be subtitled - let the irony of that statement sink in a moment. :) In all seriousness, though, it was difficult to understand the characters' words from time to time. It was also a little confusing about what was going on in the story. Often radio drama dialogue will include a sort of cheesy explanation of what the character is doing or seeing - this audio drama has minimal of that. The upside is the omission of awkward dialogue, the downside is it can be confusing to understand what is happening. A recommendation to Audible: break up the story into chapters. There are odd pauses in the performance that seem intended for chapter breaks - so why not put them in? Also, it helps for the times you zone out while listening and want to start the section over.
