Summary: Tedious and dismal
Comment: The poetry itself is great, but you wouldn't know it listening to this tedious depressing voice. I supose it could be good to know how Eliot himself thought the poetry should sound, but I think I will stick with my own fantasy of how it should sound.

I suspect anyone coming to Eliot for the first time through this collection would probably give up and turn to someone else.

Rating: 5
Summary: How could this not be great!
Comment: Eliot's voice reading his own poems. The sound of a pair of ragged claws scratching across the shores of silent seas... Anyway, although a rough reference there, I know, his dry, almost detached demeanor reflected in his monophonic, monotonic voice perfectly captures the true tenor and substance of the poems. I would highly recommend these tapes for anyone into Elliot's work.

Summary: Unpleased
Comment: Dear Amazon reader (or listerner for this matter) please read this before you buy T.S. Eliot's tapes. When I first opened the box and placed the tape into the player, it was as though I had let a demon out into my room. T.S. Eliot's voice is very unattractive, and utterly disgraceful. I love T.S. Eliot's works and to listen to him read them (with absolute no rythym)was unbearable. Rather than buying this, you should just buy His complete works. Thank you.
