But I just listened to Mel read "all the Weyrs" and compared to his excremental reading, you are a masterharper. Some pronunciations, but I know in a fantasy novel the unfamiliar places and names are open for interpretation. What didn’t you like about Dick Hill’s performance? Have a listen to the Harper Hall Series by Anne McCaffrey - Same world as The White Dragon (and others in the Dragonriders of Pern Series) but with imho a better narrator! Or start another great series by Anne McCaffrey and pick up "The Rowan" another great listen/book and very good narrator.ĭoes the author have input on who and how? Dick Hill was very annoying and I'm not likely to relisten to him. And I do read this series more than listen. I am always amazed when reading these books, I seem to pick up new things with each reading. If you haven't read any of the Dragon Riders of Pern books, start with Dragon Flight and skip anything by Todd McCaffrey (Anne's son - he can't write to save his soul). Story - Very nicely written, a classic in every sense of the word. So have a listen and then thing of hours upon hours of that. You get a good example of Dick Hill's reading, slupping and all in the example listen. I really enjoyed Sally Darlings reading of a few of the books - she had a grandmotherly way about her voice, as if you were listening to Anne McCaffrey reading to you. He range of voices is limited and it sounds like his lips are right up next to the mic so you can hear every little slup or smack as he speaks.


Narration: Dick Hill, while not the worst is certainly not the best by any means.
