Title: Birdsong audio book with Toby Stephens
Review: Instead of buying the book I chose to listen to the audio version done like a radio show. I was transported by the magical voice of Toby Stephens into the world of the main character Stephen Wraysford as he finds love and turmoil during WW1. I found all the characters well done/read and the story quite gripping. Excellent sound effects made me feel as if I were there. It also made it very easy to visualize. I am constantly amazed at the excellent job done by Toby Stephens. As with his other audio work he portrays such emotion in his voice that he makes the readings come alive. Not a story for everyone due to the graphic discriptions of the war. But still I highly recomend it and other readings by Mr. Stephens.( Heart of Darkness, Guns of Navarone,Riddle of the Sands, Woman in White, etc.)
