Book Reviews of The Return of the Native
Book Review: what's everyone so excited about?
Summary: 3 Stars
A buddy loaned this to me, claiming I was going to love Alan Rickman's reading.
While I am a huge fan of this book (in my opinion, Hardy's best), Rickman's reading, while far from bad, is nothing special.
His pace is monotonous and he makes scant effort to mimic the voices of various characters. It's a reading, pure and simple. Not a dramatization by any means, or a single sound effect. It is completely unabridged, however.
Alan Rickman, in case you don't know, is the guy who's made a career out of playing fey villains, such as the Sheriff of Nottingham in that 80's version of "Robin Hood," with Kevin Costner.
