Bad recording The book is great, but I am disappointed at the recording. It seems that the reader is in a hurry all the time. Perhaps this is the result of some remastering aimed at reducing the number of CDs (still, you have two boxes with 42 CDs). I have listened to another (older) version from Blackstone Audio, and it is much better (really a pleasure). Besides, it included an introduction, which now as been omitted. It is a pity that the quality has been lowered in this new release because this is a fascinating book.
All that said, I am very glad that I bought both the audiobook and the paper book. Having both versions allows me to read again (or listen again). This is one these books that one wants to read many times. Two stars for the recording, not enough stars for the book.
The novel for every freedom loving people If every American read this, our government would change and properity would become wide spread.
Outstanding! I'm only half-way through this teriffic audio book. It is well done in every way.
Great Classic Book by Rand, Excelent Reading by Hurt. Book should be a must for anyone who intends to use their mind and to create...anything - and those who dont too! Atlas Shrugged is honest, accurate, truthful and profetic - Are you confused by what is happening to you? your company - your country - the world? Are you a Moocher or Looter. If you are not one of these - you'd better find out who they are, how they talk and why they do what they do. The book on tape is great way to get through this huge accomplishment for the first time. An exelent and entertanining reading by Mr. Hurt. After the tape? - read the book!
Atlas Shrugged is the "Bible" of Capitalism Every American should be required to read Atlas Shugged. That's how important I believe the message of the book to be. It doesn't hurt that the story is great! I absolutely LOVE it! I've read and listened to it at least 6 times so far.
