The Man Who Would Be King Audiobook

" I though the main story was a little hard to follow because occasionally the characters would speak about themselves instead of in the first person. It was kind of weird. Wee Willie Winke was interesting as well. "

" Kipling , what more needs to be said. "

" Rather diasappointing . I just did not get into the exotica of India an did not understand what was going on most of the time in the various stories . there seemed too much local colour and not enough story . "Kim " is a favourite of mine but none of these stories struck a chord with me . "

" Good selection of Kipling's prose. It includes "The Phantom Rickshaw" and "The Man Who Would Be King" among other stories of India. "

" I liked it. I didn't really like "the phantom rickshaw" but the rest of the stories were excellent and contained some beautifully written passages. Interesting to see Kipling's British imperialist view of India. I'd recommend. "

" The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes is hands down the most bizarre story I have ever read. Ever. "

" Some of his earliest work and a little uneven but there are a couple really good ones in here. "

" Firstly, I don't usually like short stories. Secondly, the writing is old fashioned and takes some getting used to. That said, I really enjoyed some of the stories. Some others I struggled to understand. I'm glad I read it. Keen to see the movie of the title story too! "

" Wee Willy Winkie is here "

" Four stars for the title story alone; the rest are so-so Kipling also-rans. But what a title story -- and an even better film! Sean Connery, Michael Caine AND Christopher Plummer!! "

" Interesting and quite enjoyable, but not as good as his other works. "

" Four stars for the title story; three stars for the rest. "

" Mostly early stories, not up to his latter standards, but there are a couple of jems! "

" I thought the movie with Sean Connery was way better. "

" After Captains Courageous and now this, I've decided Kipling is just not for me. "

" Standard India reading. Got to have a little bit of Kipling to add the flavor of the Raj. "

" Title story was okay, the others were not. He takes a long time to develop the background. I almost quit before he got to the point of the story. "

" [Audio] Interesting group of Kipling stories that show some of the folly of empire building. "
