#Dune audio book time full

The problem is that most full cast narrations lean too far toward audio drama, adding too much sound and music.

But now, I’d have a difficult time choosing between a full cast narration and a single narrator, assuming the single narrator is good, the actors in the full cast narration are good, and – this is very important – the attributives in the full cast narration are dropped so I don’t have to hear the maddening “he said angrily” after an actor has made it quite clear that a character is angry. I point this out as a curiosity rather than a flaw.Ī few short years ago, if a person had asked me if I prefer a single narrator to a full cast recording, there wouldn’t have been any hesitation. I’m just not certain why the audiobook wasn’t done with a full cast all they way through. Vance is right up there with Guidall, so it’s an excellent reading. I’m not certain why, but there are long passages that Simon Vance narrates himself. Vance’s narration bridges the conversations, and the book is immersive and engaging. The actors were allowed to perform, and most of the time the attributives were dropped. I can’t find a list of the entire cast, but it includes Scott Brick, Katherine Kellgren, Orlagh Cassidy, and Euan Morton. Each character’s dialogue is performed by actors, and skilled actors at that. The political intrigue is delicious, the implied history deep and satisfying, and the characters smart. Frank Herbert’s novel remains one of the finest examples of world-building the genre has to offer. Now, years after that, I’ve heard yet another unabridged version of Dune, this time a multi-voice presentation from Macmillan Audio. Revisiting the book was a treat and Guidall is the Yoda of audiobook narration, so win-win. Years later, I reviewed an unabridged recording of Dune for SFFaudio that was read by George Guidall. I desperately wanted to read it, so I made it the only thing I took with me on a 30 hour bus ride from Tucson, Arizona to Idaho Falls, Idaho. I first read Dune when I was in college (late 1980’s), after a few false starts. Themes: / Science Fiction / Politics / Space travel / Culture / Ecology /
