Enjoyable.
What made the experience of listening to A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court the most enjoyable?
The performance is charming without ever being overdone. The Connecticut accent is perfect and the more difficult English characters are well done through Hank Morgan's interpretation.
What did you like best about this story?
I thought that this book was an ingenious way for Mark Twain to get across his clear belief that even a fledgling imperfect, commercial, democratic way of life is far better than an aristocracy Lording it over an uneducated people who are made afraid and weak by their masters and priests with laws handed down from God hampering the people at every turn. Although the masses through generations of the same treatment, accept it without question.
Hank tries to help them while he is doing the best for himself too.
It is clever, well told, moves along nicely, even educational but mostly it is entertaining.
What about Richard Henzel’s performance did you like?
Worked for me.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Too long
Any additional comments?
