 Disappointing June 23, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased the CD on the back of the two previous reviews. However, I must say I found the CD disappointing on two counts. Firstly, the stories could have been better written, and secondly the narrator's voice lacks resonance, age, depth call it what you will. Compared to several CD's I have purchased here in Germany on Greek Sagas, which score high in these two categories, I can't imagine that I will be listening very much to the CD again.

Wonderful reading by Benjamin. He really brings to life Loki and Thor. I am an adult who loves the viking myths. Buying this CD really was a trial. I was more than pleased. Not only is the language accessible for all age ranges, the depth of detail and presise description was creative and well balanced during both CD's. The ending was the climax with dramatical classical music which feed the imagination as to the final battle between all good and evil. One thing, my book decribes the ending with two Gods surviving and creating a new ara whereas the CD'd version unfortunatly does not do so. Even so, without telling too much, this double CD is definiatly worth having if you love Viking Myths.
Norse legends - the best of the bunch? September 23, 2006
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I bought this after listening to the Greek Legends written by Eddie Ferrie too, and I think this is a great audiobook. The stories are freshly told, imaginative and full of humour and excitement.The stories about the creation of the universe are a bit heavy but are an essential part of the cycle.The stories about Thor are the best, really esciting and my kids love them and they listen to them all the time. The music is good and helps create atmosphere and is well chosen, stuff like Hall of the mountain king in the story Thor in the hall of the giants. Ben Soames, the actor who reads the stories is great, doing lots of different voices which makes it easy for the kids to follow becasuse they always know who is speaking. A real mixture of tales these, lighthearted fun stuff and apocalyptic, end of the world all because of the evil Loki! Great stuff. I would recommend these to anyone who likes good stories with a myth, fantasy feel about them.
A master Piece of story telling January 3, 2005

i was given this on cassette tape when i was around 8, after it eventually wore out through over-use. since then i have been looking for a new copy. this gives a great account of some of the best norse mythology has to offer, from the creation of the world to ragnarok(the clash between gods and giants at the end of the world). the narration is pefect, giving the excitment in a very story its full worth. for children or adults who want to hear the tales of odin, thor and loki this is a must buy. it led me to read many books based around the norse gods, and i would still put this amoung my favorites. A really great listen.
