I got this one as an audio book to read on our trip to Spokane. We didn’t get it on the drive here (we listened to Prisoner of Azkaban instead — Jim Dale is really an excellent narrator. We thoroughly enjoyed it, even though we’ve all read the book… some of us numerous times.) so Hubby and I took it on a little 15th anniversary jaunt we took to Portland over the last couple of days.
I’m not sure if it was the full version, a radio production of it — it was the full story, but only 3 CDs — but I wasn’t that impressed. Sure, there were funny moments (there’s always funny moments) but I think I’ve been forever warped when it comes to Jeeves and Bertie by Fry and Laurie. I enjoy watching the episodes so much more than I enjoy reading or listening to them. I kept comparing the voices to the ones on the series and it just wasn’t doing it for me. (I have to admit that I even fell asleep during part of it; that’s how engaging I found it… either that, or I was just really tired.) I think I’ll stick to the Blanding Castle stories Wodehouse wrote; I find them infinitely funnier.
