I thought this was going to be a lot more difficult to read, but listening to it and following along helped so much!

ugh why does it skip at random points agH *tHROWS BOOK ACROSS THE ROOM*

[@isabelh1152]

Erik Drake: The Seamus Heaney version unfortunately comes only in Abridged form.

I'm reading a Seamus Heaney version and the audio even skips a lot of the one I am reading.

I wish it was the unabridged text... I'm listening and reading at the same time and this version skips the best parts :/

Which version do you think is best?

[@rowangostovich97]

I don't know what I would do without this! I put the speed on 2 and got the whole book read in about an hour and a half! which is nice because I have a projects due on this in 4 days...

[@gg2fan]

The monster fighting is seriously cool, but what surprised me is how fascinated I got by the incredibly vivid depiction of their society to the point where I was enjoying it more than the action. I adored the descriptions of the tribes, their relations, traditions, worries, feuds, it's an absolute jewel of historical record.

Totally enjoyed this. I love that the vocabulary was so accessible to a modern english speaker. It allowed me to appreciate the emotions and visualize the scenes so well. And also loved the reader's performance, just right in tone and dramatic feeling. Thank you for publsihing this video!! The

For anyone reading the version shown at the beginning of the video, the black cover with a sword, here are the moments the video skips and starts 14ish minutes in.

[@bsku0765]

its mostly the history part i think

[@stephaniehurzeler9041]

If you get frustrated by it skipping around, just put on English subtitles. Follow along with the subtitles and then just put it on however speed you want. That helped me in the end.

[@stephaniedicamillo6401]

BEWARE! If you are following along with the Seamus Heaney text, you will find some lines missing and others with slightly different wording!

Why are so many people listening to this while reading? Read first, then listen to review it if you are doing this for school. And stop complaining, you spineless cubs. This is one of the most epic stories ever written. Be glad you are reading this instead of the scarlet letter or other boring crap.

I'm not sure why 2 people would use this comment feature for their toxic argument. First, even if "Sean Dafny" uses "black" vernacular, that doesn't make him (or her) black. And, "Marcus Segura" can have an avatar of Jesus holding a sheep, but that doesn't make him (or her) peace-loving. Both of you are internet trolls who have hijacked this comment area. A great poet of the 20th/21st century reads medieval literature and (so far) we get free access to the reading. I wish you could appreciate it

This is the comment section, which is a forum. I'm sure you know the meaning of "forum" is a public space often used for people to voice their opinions. You post something here, it becomes everyone's business. As long as it remains where people can see it, it's open season. You took that risk when you decided to post on the internet. Racist text in all caps is kind of hard to ignore, which reminds me, capslock can be found in the upper left of your keyboard, you may want to toggle it off.
