Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: BEST TALKING BOOK EVERComment: At once i loved this Talkingbook It was a brilliant find and i really loved itCustomer Rating: Summary: DisappointingComment: I was so disappointed by this audio CD. The actor has a voice similar to Julian Clary and mispronounces some of the characters names! It could have been done a lot better.
Customer Rating: Summary: Keeps the kids happy on long car journeysComment: We purchased this CD on the basis of another Amazon review and weren't disappointed. Ths kids (aged 8 & 6) love the stories (Heracles, Theseus, Perseus, Jason and the Argonauts among others) and the CD is requested on every car journey! It's a painless way of getting a bit of knowledge/history into us all. The stories are re-told in modern language with some music thrown in for effect at key points, which all adds to the effect. The narrator has a pleasant voice (important when these CDs are played repeatedly!) and even though we all know the stories backward now, enjoy them still.
