Unabridged Audiobook
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. If you have ever enjoyed the 1959 movie Ben-Hur but not the book, this is the way you ease yourself into it. The 1880 novel by Lew Wallace is a bit of a slow read for some, but this is accessible, and when one part finished, you almost wished that it was not over because it only ran you closer and closer to the end. Other than the voice of Judah Ben-Hur, the cast was perfection. However, I do not blame Jamie Glover for his performance. It is just that Charleston Heston was so iconic as a grown Ben-Hur that I think that they should have found a deeper-voiced for the latter half of the story. Otherwise, I think this was just fantastic. Absolutely give it a listen. Whether you're a fan of the older stories, you're of the Christian faith, or you want a cast telling you a story for 4 hours, you can't go wrong with this one.
