Hi<br /><br />I'm a big fan of audio books and have well over 1000 recordings on cassette and cd. but I can't find a decent unabridged copy of TWOTW, I have the EMI abridged version but its so badly edited or should I say butchered :angry: (no artilleryman mentioned,no Thunder Child scene ,no red weed and the story ends with you believing his wife is dead, I count myself lucky it has martians in it). I have an unabriged American copy,narrated by Robin Lawson, but I feel this great old English novel should be read by an English voice. no offence to any American visitors. I can't imagine why an English publisher hasn't done it, or have they?. Can anybody help?. :unsure:

Sazz<br /><br />Are you talking about the Jeff Waynes musical version?.<br /><br />I'm talking about an unabridged book about 7 or 8 hours long.

As a matter of interest, which actor would everyone like to have do a talking book version of WOTW?<br /><br />I vote for Sean Pertwee. I think his voice would be perfect.<br /><br />

-_- It will be it says Total time running: 11 hours 17 minutes. Performed by Patrick Horgan. I have a 'Penguin' unabridged copy of 'The Time Machine' narrated by Brian Cox (very good by the way)but it only lasts 3 hours 30 mins.<br /><br />Unless Patrick Horgan is a very slow reader :D

I think its an excellent version. Horgan's voice lends it a good deal of authenticity - to my ears, anyway.<br /><br />WOTW clocks in at just under 8 hours. The pace is good - never rushed. Horgan also read "The Island of Dr. Moreau," The Invisible Man," and "The Crystal Egg" for the other MP3.<br /><br />Enjoy!
