5.0 out of 5 stars
A fine listen; Let's get it on MP3/CD!, April 29 2002
After 20 years of reading single-voice narrations, it was one of
my few exposures to multi-voice dramatizations.I did find the inevitable range of loudness of a dramatization
to be a bit of a problem with my hearing. Struggling with the
overly-complex user interfaced tone controls on my JVC in-dash
CD/MP3 player finally got that mostly under control. They fellow who played "the black guy" reminded me and my fellow
listener ever so much of Burgess Meredith. I didn't see a cast listing on the printed enclosure, I would have appreciated it.
That way, I wouldn't have to say "the black guy" to avoid my
uncertainty of the spelling of the character's name.
(Kothschai?). I just love banned books, and Jurgen is a fine early example.
(Right now, I'm reading "Harmful to Minors", there's nothing
like finding out that people are trying to keep me away to make
me want to read it...) The story is full of nuance and implication. The phrase
"treating fairly" will always have a new meaning for me. The accompanying music was added in just the right amounts and
at the right times. I'm resentful of Jurgen's whistling, as I
thought that I was preeminent at tuneless whistling, but be that
as it may... A delightful read in all, and my thanks to Yuri. David H. Straayer
