Negative Positive
Title: Loved the book. Hate Jim Dale's audio version.
Review: It's a fab book, but Jim Dale does ABSOLUTELY no justice to the story. His reading is extremely nasal, his idea of a Scottish accent for Prof.MacGonagall is ludicrous. All he does is roll his "r"s. As for the children, I've never heard such old sounding children in my life. Vernon Dursley for such a big beefy man has an absurdly whiny & screechy voice. I got through the first three tapes & gave it up. Hagrid sounds as if he should have a parrot on his shoulder saying, "Thar she blows matey! Har Har Har". The audio tape was supremely disappointing. I'm hoping and expecting better from the Stephen Fry version.
Is the review positive or negative?
