terrific April 5, 2008
Had the audio tapes from the library and listened so many times I wore it out. Thought the reader was wondeful and will buy it on CD to add to my collection.
Return of The Native Audio Book March 3, 2008
I am so glad this has been re-issued on CD. 15 hours of Alan Rickman's voice. Excellent value for money. An ideal gift for any fan of this actor.

As a lover of descriptive, old English this book is a delight. Hardy writes such beautiful prose in describing the wilds of Egdon Heath and its occupants. I have loved Hardy's writing since first reading, 'Far From the Madding Crowd', as he rung my heart for Shepard Oak. How much more would I have enjoyed it if it was read, I can not tell but 'Return of the Native' is so much the richer for being read and heard. It's the difference between enjoying the story and being in the story; walking with the characters across the heath, willing them to take a different path or hoping they tread their way to a beloved or to avoid another. I laughed out loud at poor Christian and cried and the fates of some. Alan Rickman, (I am very biased on anything to do with him and his voice) does a fantastic job in developing these characters into distinct personalities with their own sound and feeling, a truly skilled actor.
Now the book is on January 3, 2008
Return Of The NativeThe Return of the Native Now the book is on cd and it's a must have. Now that the book is on cd there is no more issues with chewed tape. Mr. Rickman gives the book life and makes any long trip on the road go by fast and eases the mind. Great stuff wish he read more.
FABULOUS!!!!!!!! November 8, 2007

Loved this audio book, Mr. Rickman kept my attention from begining to the end of the book. I couldn't stop listening to it even if I wanted to. *Grins*
