Customer Reviews
Audio is Awesome Jim Dale's reading of the book was excellent and I do have to say that I have not listened to an audio book that I have enjoyed more. Dale's changing of his voices to mimic the character was very interesting yet not over done. I could envision each character due to his inflections and changes in speech patterns. During the entire eight hours of the reading of this audio book, not once was I bored by the reading of it. I can only hope he will read the next book in this series. Alas, I have been very late in reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone but I can guarantee that I'll be much quicker in getting the next book. I truly enjoyed this book even if it was originally written for children - this book is enjoyable no matter what your age and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of fantasy.
A Fun Listen I enjoyed the book so much that I wanted to be able to listen to it in the car on long drives. It is a lot of fun, though sometimes the narrator is a bit "over the top" with his accents and emoting. He takes a little getting used to.
Wonderful...truly a performance I love the Harry Potter series, but I was unsure of the audiobooks. Jim Dale really brings J.K. Rowling's books to life. He doesn't read--he performs. I would recommend them to anyone!
