A incredible post WW III tale of survival & companionship.,
By manofsilk1@aol.com (San Dimas, Cailfornia U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Boy and His Dog (Audio Cassette)
Harlan Ellison is riveting as he portrays the tough & desperate "Vic" and his dog "Blood". Post World War III survivors are a tough bunch & Vic & Blood fit the bill. Companionship & trust go hand in hand, and in the violent remains of a nuclear nightmare, you can't have one without the other. This futuristic, suspenseful, roller coaster of a short story will be played again, and again. I've read the book, but Harlan Ellison's reading is spellbinding! Lucky enough to own a copy? HELP! Mine fell victim to a car burglary. Manofsilk1@aol.com

The smarm is the charm,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Boy and His Dog (Audio Cassette)
Harlan Ellison has long been known for his great science-fiction writing. On this reading of "A Boy and His Dog," Harlan's smarmy voice gives a great reading as the confident Vic and Blood. I usually don't like straight reading in audio-books. I like audio-dramas a lot more. However, with Ellison, you get a great reading of a classic story and also "Repent Harlequin, Said the Tick-Tock Man." Too bad it's out of print. I had a copy and lost it. Now I'll have to wait to get it through some used bookstore. Don't make the same mistake if you already have this gem of an audio-book. By the way, if you have a copy and would like to get rid of it, let me know!Jack Sprat

Spellbinding!!,
By malh@ma.ultranet.com (Douglas, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Boy and His Dog (Audio Cassette)
I loved the story when I first read it and actually enjoyed the movie (although Benjy the dog out-acted Don Johnson), but I never really appreciated the tempo, cadence and force of Ellison's writing until I heard him read his own work. Absolutely stellar! The best audio book I have ever heard. You will drive around the block until the finale!
