with each egg you crack, shell ends up in the bowl.no matter how much you try it just gets worse with the end result being a complete and total yoke ( egg humour).I digress. How can I liken this experience? Have you ever tried to make an omelette while suffering with a hangover.
watch out for his attempt at Chani when she first appears. there are times the primary narrator just seems to forget what voice he uses for a character.you are absolutely lost. In single scenes you can have three different voices for one character ( remembering Herbert's love of the third person or thoughts of his characters).hilariously these innermost thoughts can be a totally different actor, voice.god even accent.
Its as if the budget was expended on the atmospheric sounds effects and background music and with the funds running low the studio just randomly selected bits for the voice actors while the rest was read by the narrator. As an audiobook however.this is a shambles. The performers are true to the words of the book and it will not inhibit your ability to get the genuine experience but at times it is jarring and confusing.ĭune is a remarkable epic that sits at the epicenter of the genre. The most egregious case of this was halfway through a chapter in which two key characters were talking, a small break takes place, and it returns with new narrators for these characters. Either have it read by a single narrator or have some consistency with who is reading each character. This performance is disruptive and simply not good. More confusingly a narrator for one key character, such as Leto Atreides will return later with exactly the same voice (that is to say, not altering it at all) to play a different character. The book is read mostly by a single person (altering his voice for different characters, if only slightly) but bizarrely will have characters such as Jessica and Paul be taken over by other narrators seemingly at random parts of the story with seemingly no consistency on who is 'playing'. This review however, sets to highlight that this reading of Dune is exceptionally bad. Any number of reviews will tell you the importance of Dune, the depth and detail that Frank Herbert has taken to craft a thrilling story, amazing characters and a universe that in 2015 is still unique.
