Ulysses

Summary: What a great rendition!
Review: I have listened in the past to the taped rendition of Ulysses, and I pushed my way through it for the bragging rights. This new version is just so superb and so amazing in its vitality.

While at times Ulysses is still a challenge to grasp, I can guarantee that the whole book is much more comprehensible, and wonderful, to hear it read so well. It suddenly makes sense.

As a by-the-way, the Naxos packaging is second only to Apple's iPod in the pleasure I got from handling it and opening it.

Summary: Thanks Jimmy
Review: Superbly read, clear and at a rate which allows you to read along with the recording and take in the meaning very well, even if you may have to pause a few times to make sure you get every penis allusion...

The notes in the boxset are a gem as well, clearing outlining the plot and what each track on the cd will be discussing briefly. Very well produced, even to the extent of reversing the audio in Circe where 'The Voice Of All the Damned' proclaims the mighty: Htengier Tnetopinmo Dog Drol eht rof, Aiulella!

Music tracks introduce each section, with songs appropriately chosen for the episode. To hear the Dublin voices aloud is superb and increases the understanding and humour gained from this great work of literature. Heartly recommended from this shout in the street.
