About this listen
The smash-hit best seller that inspired the acclaimed 1972 film starring Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox is now available in unabridged audio for the very first time.
The setting is the Georgia wilderness, where the state's most remote white-water river awaits. In the thundering froth of that river, in its echoing stone canyons, four men on a canoe trip discover a freedom and exhilaration beyond compare. And then, in a moment of horror, the adventure turns into a struggle for survival as one man becomes a human hunter who is offered his own harrowing deliverance.
This classic tale is vividly read by movie and TV star and Audie Award-winning narrator Will Patton.

Deliverance of a beautifully written book
One of the best downloads I have purchased from audible. I have listened to this adventure countless times, now. And never get bored with it: the language, the characters, the mood, the description.
Worth every pound.

Harrowing, exciting and thought-provoking.
I really enjoyed this. Having seen the film, I was aware of how much hearing the characters' thoughts and motivations added to the story. It's one of the most realistic thrillers I've come across, which is where a lot of its power lies.
The reading by Will Patton is perfect, with all the emotions of the narrator tainting the edge of his voice until it's hard to believe that this isn't the voice of Ed himself, recounting his horrific and painful memories for you personally.
The only downside with the novel, for me, was that it meandered here and there, and perhaps the ending (detailing the aftermath) seemed to drag a little. It's forgivable, as these wordy sections are usually describing the awe, fear and spiritual experiences Ed goes through in the environment and the situation - his reason for being there. But these details of his connections with nature grated on me slightly when I so badly wanted to see how the next plot point would turn out.
Definitely recommended.

Exceptional writing and narration
Exceptional. What can I say, beautifully written, incredibly narrated by fast becoming my favourite narrator (Will Patton) he really needs to narrate more books. I actually can't remember much of the movie it's been too long but I do know it wasn't a patch on this. It's a simple/classic story with some real depth of themes and characters. I could not recommend this more.

Perfect blend of story and performer
I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. Saw the movie years ago and thought it was perfectly fine, and I often like to listen to books that movies are based on. But the writing and suspense in this book blew me away, and the performance is an absolute masterclass. I couldn't imagine a better fit for it than Will Patton. Recommended.
