GoodBookStall Review:
Four CDs plus a bonus DVD with behind the scenes video featurettes and surround sound mix of the entire programme.
The dramatization works superbly, mainly due to the voice of Andy Serkis (Gollum of Lord of the Rings) as the senior devil. The other actors supporting his performance make the whole an exciting experience for those new to the book and for those who have read it time and time again. Faithfully following C.S.Lewis’ words, but with the other characters given voices and words too, I have nothing but admiration for this production. Geoffrey Palmer as C.S.Lewis is just right and Douglas Gresham’s contribution sheds light on ‘Jack’ and his work. I could have done without the songs on the fourth CD, but no doubt others will like them.
