The only accent that grates somewhat is his own. He masters the accents of the Welsh miners, the Scottish hero, Andrew, his Yorkshire wife, an American scientist and his West End coleagues.
Engleman speaks the Standard English spoken widely (especially on the BBC) in the mid twentieth century and at the time the book came out. However, in his defence, I would say that Mr. The narrator can be heard to cough, shuffel papers and make mistakes, which he corrects openly. Many reviewers have criticised the recording and it is certainly dated both from a technical as well as a linguistics viewpoint. This story highlights ethics in Medicine and is as true and valid now as it was in 1937. No, just that i would recommend this recording. if you know what it means to grow and pay a price for it, you will feel the same. it broke my heart because i loved the characters so much. i thought he did a great job reading it.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? unless you are VERY bothered by the reader, don't let that put you off. anything for a great story! i was so caught up in this story that the reader did not bother me at all.
It wasn't the best recording.but then i'm one who takes my old, impossible to find cassettes, and puts them on my computer. What about Franklin Engelmann’s performance did you like? i also like the way cronin introduces new characters. the characters are so real, so down to earth, with big dreams and very human hearts. particularly The Green Years.Īll of his stories are tight, well written stories. Where does The Citadel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
