Religion is a controversial business in the Discworld. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods - who come in all shapes and sizes. In such a competitive environment, there is a pressing need to make one's presence felt. And it's certainly not remotely helpful to be reduced to be appearing in the form of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone's book. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast - preferably one who won't ask too many questions.

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.

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.

Horrible audio quality!

I could not listen to this book for more than 10 minutes without getting a headache. The audio quality is VERY poor, and it sounds like it was recorded in a public bathroom with tiled walls.....

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.

Echo-gnomics

Having read discworld out of order has formed my view of various characters. Death for example, is completely different in subsequent books. Colour of magic is a good book, but later books are better.

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!

Great book but awful recording

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.

A great story, well performed, all you'd expect from Pratchett and Planer. But the recording quality changes from chapter to chapter which is quite iritating.

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.
