5.0 out of 5 stars
A compelling and vivacious rendition,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Billy Budd (Classic Fiction) (Audio CD)
Read and performed by veteran actor William Roberts, Billy Budd, Sailor is the unabridged audiobook presentation of Herman Melvilles maritme classic of a sailor "pressed" into service on the HMS Indomitable during the Napoleonic Wars. Despite his popularity among the crew, Billy experiences ruthless treatment from the ship's master-at-arms, and so follows horrible tragedy. A compelling and vivacious rendition, Billy Bud, Sailor is a recommended addition to personal and community library audiobook collections. 3 CDs, 3 hours and 35 minutes.

Classic tragic story,

This review is from: Billy Budd (Classic Fiction) (Audio CD)
This short book (~3.5 hour recording) is by the same author that wrote Moby Dick, but written 40 years later. It is the story of a handsome, good-natured, and naïve young sailor that ends in tragedy. It brings up a true moral dilemma that makes one think.The narrator is William Roberts, whose voice seems perfect for this story. The audio quality is excellent. I highly recommend this book either in the audio book format or in written form. It is a true classic and a very short and worthwhile read. |
