I wanted to like this recording. I love this book; but York's reading is terrible.The way he reads the book feels like he has no understanding of the actual story or the words he is reading or who these characters are. Did he read the book before showing up at the recording studio?It is hard to explain, but the words are focused on too much, almost over-pronounced, and it made me feel somehow patronized a bit how sing-songy and insincere somehow that the delivery was. You are almost distracted by York when trying to listen to this book. He does not slip into the book, it is very much all you can think of hearing him say each word, each syllable.I also recently purchased and listened to The Magician's Nephew in this same series of audio recordings, which is read by Kenneth Branagh, which I highly recommend. Branagh's reading is much more what I think a person who loves these books is looking for. He does "voices" for the characters and the delivery is clear but it is sincere and Branagh seems to have an understanding of who the characters are, what the story is about, etc. It comes across as more of acting than reading, and Branagh's performance slips him into the book so that his real talent is apparent in that *he* is not the fixation. You can sit back and actually enjoy the story in that one. I wish that Branagh had done LWW as well, and I am hoping that the other five recordings of the Chronicles are more like his performance than York's...otherwise, I will be very disappointed.
I am very fond of this book, but I am not pleased by Michael York's reading. This came as a surprise, because he is an excellent actor. But his reading appears to be aimed at very young children. It's extremely slow and Very Clearly Pronounced. I recall myself reading picture books aloud the same way -- to preschool children. York's reading does a disservice to a wonderful story, but would be appropriate for the very young.
The unabridged audio version of this book was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone interested in reading the Narnia series.
I received my cd lion witch and the wardrobe from I started listening to this book in my car and enjoyed every minute cause it reminded me of my childhood when I was in school and my teacher first read these CS Lewis books to the class
Michael York did a great job narrating this! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I loved the voices of the characters. Great story for the car on long trips, keeps everyone awake!
Purchased this for my classroom. Beautifully read. Highly recommend.
This is the second best of the Narnia stories - The Magician's Nephew is the best (if you haven't read it ... DO IT) -- the performance on this set is not as expected; just OK
