![]() I cant stay awake through the "Hurt" I realize there are all different tastes and people prefer different narrational styles. ![]() Who would you have cast as narrator instead of William Hurt? Giving up and turning the awful droning off. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sun Also Rises? People who unreservedly love William Hurt ![]() This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Get the Charlton Heston versions of Old Man and Snows if you can and Scourby's reading of Macomber is awesome, Heston and Scourby are perfection. Donald Sutherland is a great actor, but a terrible reader of Old Man. Nice idea to have distinctive voices for EH, but you need some more dynamic readers, not ones that sound bored by the project. Adams did many of EH's novels and did them well, and though then I may have wished for variety in voices, I'd take those now. This is a great novel and I wish they would get the reading by Adams that Books on Tape had that I bought the cassettes of years ago. At times as he's reading it seemed that he was seeing the text for the first time, his emphasis and inflection is off all over the place. He does fine with the dialogue passages which makes sense i guess as an actor, but his voice and bored rendition of the narrative passages is just plain poor. ![]() ![]() I'm sorry but William Hurt hurts this novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Readers of Holly Black's Tithe (2002) or Charles de Lint's The Blue Girl (2004) will enjoy this rich foray into faerie.

And it has attracted Nuala, a soul-snatching faerie muse who fosters and then feeds on the creative energies of exceptional humans until they die. James Morgan has an almost unearthly gift for music. Remember us, so sing the dead, lest we remember you " Ballad is giddy, intoxicating, and threatening all at once.
