I was excited to see ur comment cuz I’m picky but WOW when he gets to the part with the female intercom voice (I just call her Siri) he sounded exactly like the movie!!! I wanna listen to more books just based on more from this narrator fr
I have been listening to the movie of this whilst going to sleep for years, the soundtrack, the dialogue, but the screen....couldn't believe finding this, thanks!!!
personally, my introduction to Chrichton's work scared the shit out of 12-year-old me. Also made me re-think everything I thought I knew about the potential for extra-terrestrial life
I loved this story as a kid. Now that I'm older, I laugh at the depiction of senior level scientists. Believe me, no scientist at their level can do ANYTHING that requires skill in the lab. Each of them would have spent the past ten years delegating work to grad students and post-docs to perform.
I have a Cell Molec degree… worked in large scale cell culture manufacturing. We built the worlds largest, fully automated facility. The start up/validation portion, pre steady state portion of the project took a couple years. The number of people involved in building a facility that could encompass this underground, technology behemoth would be staggering! Ya just couldn’t top secret something this big! Before you disagree… just the air pressure balancing required for one way/airlock entry into clean rooms, requires specialized teams. Then you put an elevator in a balanced system, sealed in an underground tube… where does the air in the elevator shaft go? 🤔
I actually like the narrator's voice for the early part of the book in Piedmont. He sounds like he could be an old man living in a small town in the desert, telling a tragic tale. It helped add to the feeling of suspense and desolation, for me at least. However, when the story shifts to the high-tech and fast-moving lab and we're still left with the old man in the desert, i agree with some of the others here that it seems a bit out of place.
Not read this for decades, it’s great story telling. I still seriously wonder if the whole covid debacle was a globally coordinated preparedness exercise for a real microbiological threat. The fact that we have gone from “end of humanity” to “nothing has happened” in the space of a couple of years, leads me to that cynical hypothesis.
The '71 film had a female for Dr. Leavitt, and lasers instead of monkey darts. The cop rampage part of the book was probably deemed too gory for a major Hollywood release at the time.
Does anybody have a version in Hindi? I need to become more conversant in this language? I am opening an Indian restaurant and feel ridiculous in my homemade turban and kaftan. I also plan to offer a snake charming service, but keep on being laughed at by alcohol fuelled louts.
I had seen the movie many, many years ago and wanted to listen to the audiobook. Of course I don't remember intricate details of the movie given how long ago I saw it. Listening now 6:38 in, I can't believe how awful the research is for this book. A lieutenant would know how to keep his binoculars from fogging. I've been out in subzero temps for hours birdwatching and I don't have any problem keeping my plain jane binoculars from fogging up. THEN the lieutenant see vultures over the town AT NIGHT??? VULTURES DON'T FLY AT NIGHT!!! Can't continue due to the terrible beginning and the lack of attention to detail. Not sure I'll ever read or listen to a book by this author again.
Shift work messes with my biological clock and being a 36t day a year single dad waiting for my teenage daughter to get home from work or nights out is my excuse. 2001 is another good one which dulls me asleep as once listened to the first time, the plot does not keep your attention. I found Joseph Heller reading Catch 22, well worth a listen.
One of the best voice actors I've ever heard read a book with so many characters.

thanks pirate.@@palanthis
Love David Morse’s voice. So glad this was pirated from Audible. Thanks Pirate! 😂
I think it’s the actor who played Brutal in The Green Mile.
On my phone speakers this is very close to having President Biden read a book to you, he even has a similar cadence. At first weird but oddly calming.
I read this in ‘70.
Still an excellent story and consumable lesson in scientific method.
I have been listening to the movie of this whilst going to sleep for years, the soundtrack, the dialogue, but the screen....couldn't believe finding this, thanks!!!
I’d for gotten how great this book was. It really should be read aloud. TYVM.
v well read. voice of the old man spot on, you really get an idea who he is
The guy that played the old man in the movie got it perfectly too.
Thank ya so much for the great stories and narration!! ❤
Never invited.
@@Hannah_The_Elon_Jewl.o,😅
Dude… who is this reader?? He’s terrific!
David Morse. The Green Mile, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Jodie Foster's dad in Contact ("baby steps"). The man is really good at his work.
Fantastic book and the voice actor was superb
This was fantastic! I finished it in three days! 😁
Good reading 👍
personally, my introduction to Chrichton's work
scared the shit out of 12-year-old me. Also made me re-think everything I thought I knew about the potential for extra-terrestrial life
had to read this book for my educ class. amazing narrative, helped me a lot
Me right now! LOL
@@misfixx777 same lol
me right more lol
Yes, exceptional narrating!
Sounds like Dave to me, nice voice, good read. 💋
Dave's not here..
David Morse is the narrator
Listening to the medical and computer descriptions, is funny. We do so many of these things in everyday life now

Classic!!

Amazing
Is this David Morse? Amazing talent.
The movie is great!

Hooked by the voice actor over the content .. what else has he read?

I seen this film when it first came out great 🎉

Yes; hard to believe he does All the voices.

Voice slows down at roughly 30 seconds. Is the first 39 the normal speed or is everything after the normal speed and the first was sped up?
1st 30, not 39.. fat fingered it.
The '71 film had a female for Dr. Leavitt, and lasers instead of monkey darts.
The cop rampage part of the book was probably deemed too gory for a major Hollywood release at the time.

The film scared me.
Great story...or is it?
What's with all the comments like 01:452? I reckon it is spy talk.
It's time stamps. People record the last time they stopped listening and pick up back from there.
is there any timestamps? thank you!

Does anybody have a version in Hindi? I need to become more conversant in this language? I am opening an Indian restaurant and feel ridiculous in my homemade turban and kaftan. I also plan to offer a snake charming service, but keep on being laughed at by alcohol fuelled louts.
A bit too heavy on the science for me
Me... great job.
Him... whyyyyyyyyy
Her.... I can tell pplleeaasseee stop this nonsense.
cool
Starts off interesting, then devolves into dreary technical and biographical material.
The 1971 movie is good
I had seen the movie many, many years ago and wanted to listen to the audiobook. Of course I don't remember intricate details of the movie given how long ago I saw it. Listening now 6:38 in, I can't believe how awful the research is for this book. A lieutenant would know how to keep his binoculars from fogging. I've been out in subzero temps for hours birdwatching and I don't have any problem keeping my plain jane binoculars from fogging up. THEN the lieutenant see vultures over the town AT NIGHT??? VULTURES DON'T FLY AT NIGHT!!! Can't continue due to the terrible beginning and the lack of attention to detail. Not sure I'll ever read or listen to a book by this author again.
