Ben Hur Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I started this book in the summer and found it rather dull. But then school started again, and I realized this book is so much more exciting than textbooks! It was a good book after all, but hard to get into. "

" i hope i enjoy it as much as the film "

" This books has a great beginning - the meeting of the Magi - but I was dissatisfied with the ending; it felt trite. "

" I really loved this book! It was interesting to feel as if you experienced the life of a Jew during the time of Christ. I am especially happy with the way the Mosaic law is portrayed. an excellent read! "

" This was my favorite book as a kid. I read it 10 times - no joke. It's been a few years since the last time I read it, but I think it's one that withstands the test of time. "

" This is a beautiful unabridged edition published by Reader's Digest. There are illustrations in teh margins of *every* page. "

" I wish 4.5 was a choice. I loved the book, but it was wordy and a little hard to get through. The end was really tough to read, but really good. Looking forward to see how the movie compares! "

" Couldn't find what I actually wanted to review - the abridged audiobook in Spanish. "

" I really like the book. There is some much interesting detail about the terrain, Jewish customs, Arab customs, etc. This is perhaps much more than the average reader will want. For those type of readers, read the abridged version and you will not miss any of the story. "

" I liked the book. Rich in detail. A good story. I disliked the philosophy behind parts of it that allude to good works having anything to do with salvation. "

" The books are always better than the movies. "

" An exciting novel from New Testament times. I couldn't put it down. "

" I am a cheater and counting watching the movie as reading the book. I justified it by looking at the quantity of books I have read just in the last year. "

" Whether or not you liked the movie, the book is incredible. I've read it three times, and I don't reread books much anymore. "

" Some time in high school. Enjoyed it. "

" This book is great, a treasure. It is a story set in Israel at the time of Christ, so aspects of Jesus' life are incorporated into the book. The first part is a bit slow, the story of the wisemen, but those characters emerge later in the book, so worth the read. "

" Its play with the history(/legend) of Jesus was good. I usually prefer books to movies. But (for me atleast) Ben Hur the movie was better than the book. "

" I read this as a Sophomore, I didn't think I liked it, but actually really got into it. "

" In this book Judea Ben-Hur acctidently slips a peice of concrete onto the the kings head. Will he ever excape from the Romans? Read to find out. "

" Good book. Very interesting historical fiction surrounding the life of Christ, but with enough distance and character development that it didn't feel heavy like scriptures. Not a light read, but definitely worth the time. Besides, I dig anything Jewish. "

" EXCELLENT! Makes story of Christ fresh--very descriptive-great story and faith "

" Loved this book, very exciting to see the mission of Jesus through a bystanders eyes. "
