Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Description

The Colour of Magic, the first novel in Terry Pratchett's wildly imaginative Discworld series, takes the listener on a remarkable journey. The magical planet of Discworld is supported by four massive elephants who stand on the back of the Great A'Tuin, a giant turtle swimming slowly through the mysterious interstellar gulf. The adventure begins when an eccentric expedition sets out to explore the planet. The group, including an ineffective wizard and a naive tourist (whose luggage moves on its own little legs) encounters dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and, of course "The Edge" of the planet.

Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.

Great story, poor audio

The story is hilarious, lots of sureal humour and adventure. The audio is quite poor though...the narrator does quite a good job but there’s echo sometimes, and inequal low/high sounds. Pratchett’s and Planer’s work is worth a remastering and audio adjustment.

poorest audio quality ever

Would you try another book from Terry Pratchett and/or Nigel Planer?

I want the whole series.

What other book might you compare The Colour of Magic to and why?

Terry Pratchett doesn't need any comparisions.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Nigel Planer?

I actually can't really evaluate the narrator due to poor audio quality.

What character would you cut from The Colour of Magic?

none

Any additional comments?

Audible must be pretty desperate to even consider selling this audio book. The audio quality is the worst I have ever experienced.

Horrible audio quality

This was very difficult to listen to, and I couldn't take more than ten minutes of the recording.

As good as expected :)

Would you listen to The Colour of Magic again? Why?

I'm just getting started on the Discworld books, and I suspect it will be quite a while before I return to this first book in the series. I have a lot of listening ahead of me...

Any additional comments?

For me, the concern about audio quality turned out to be unfounded. One of the characters, and in fact the opening narration use an echo to create a particular soundscape. That can make it a little tricky to hear, given the age of the recording. The bulk of the recording is completely normal spoken word, with no problems.

Great story but...

Everything about this was great, save for the recording quality.

It sounds almost as though it had been pulled from the original audio cassettes. The quality is also inconsistent, as it changes from chapter to chapter.

Good story, reproduction overdue.

I love Discworld, and I hoped to be able to continue enjoying it after switching to audiobooks. Unfortunately the only unabridged version is in desperate need of remastering to be even slightly enjoyable. I have no problem with Planer as a storyteller, but I do have a problem hearing him over the background noise.

Good story, bad audio quality

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Storywise and performancewise, I have no complaints, but the audio quality was very uneven. It must have been transferred from som old cassette recordings, where some of the cassettes were of very poor quality.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Colour of Magic?

I really loved the optimistic and daring view of life that was displayed by the tourist, Twoflower. Death is also a very interesting character!

Which character – as performed by Nigel Planer – was your favorite?

I think it's a tie between Twoflower and Death.

Was The Colour of Magic worth the listening time?

Yes, despite the poor quality, I really enjoyed listening to it.

Miserable Tonqualität - schade um die tolle Geschichte...

Ich kann mich meinen Vorkritikern nur anschließen: die Geschichte ist klasse, der Sprecher auch - aber es wäre sehr interessant zu wissen wo diese Aufnahme ausgegraben wurde: Mal hallt es unerträglich (ich dachte erst das sei die Art die Fußnoten akustisch darzustellen, aber leider bezieht es sich nicht nur auf die), dann klingt es entsetzlich dumpf - eigentlich eine ziemliche Frechheit, so eine Aufnahme unkommentiert zur Verfügung zu stellen. Wenn hier jemand liebevoll das letzte Exemplar einer ausgeleierten Kassette restauriert hat, würde ich es noch einsehen, aber dann hätte ich wenigstens gerne einen Hinweis, dass es sich um ein historisch wertvolles, aber akustisch herausforderndes Tondokument handelt. Ich bin sonst sehr zufrieden mit den Audible-Downloads, aber das ist jetzt der 2. Reinfall (nach der unsäglich schlechten Live-Aufnahme einer Lesung von Foster-Wallace), und langsam schwindet mein Vertrauen etwas dahin...

Geniales Buch, schlechte Aufnahmequalität

Das Buch ist ein Klassiker, da besteht keine Frage. Der Sprecher ist hervorragend. Die Aufnahmequalität ist jedoch an einigen Stellen nicht zu ertragen. Es kratzt schon manchmal in den Ohren wenn man das Buch über den iPod hört. Daher Abzug in der Bewertung!

This book is really good. Terry Pratchett needs no introduction. But please avoid this audio book. The speaker sounds like the recording took place in a cave. bad echoing and overall really poor audio quality. avoid.

Discworl eben...

Auf welchen Platz würden Sie The Colour of Magic auf Ihrer Hörbuch-Bestenliste setzen?

Durch die schwache Audio Qualität so um die 5 - 7 herum. Die Geschichte ist aber genial, typisch Terry Pratchett eben.

Würden Sie es noch mal mit einem anderen Hörbuch mit Nigel Planer versuchen?

Bestimmt, ich muss sie alle haben.

Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

Wie gesagt: die schlechte Bewertung für den Sprecher rührt von der Aufnahmequalität her. Der Sprecher selbst ist sogar sehr gut wie ich finde. Auch für non-nativ Speaker gut zu verstehen.

Sprecher großartig. Ton etwas alt.

Der Sprecher schafft es, jedem der vielen unterschiedlichen Charaktere seine eigene, genau passende Stimme zu geben und die ausgefeilte Sprache Pratchetts gelungen umzusetzen.
Leider ist durch das Alter der Aufnahme der Ton etwas rauschig und kratzig. Daran muss man sich gewöhnen.
