Critic reviews
Episode reviews from Audible members:
"Really enjoyable story. I really enjoyed listening to this story, containing a rich mix of voices and sounds that kept me gripping the steering wheel on my daily commute." - Mr A Barnes
"Forget Disney. This was absolutely spellbinding, both the stories and the acting, a pure delight to listen to." - Ron
"Simply incredible. Easily the best audiobook I've heard. The background sounds take you to the jungles of India whilst the incredible cast give added depth to the characters not seen before." - Amazon Customer
"Just beautiful. I absolutely loved this! Everything was just beautiful! The voices were perfect the pace was just right ... I've fallen in love with The Jungle Book all over again." - Clh77
"A brilliant performance of a much loved story. The listener is transported to the Indian jungle complete with an atmospheric background and a cast of excellent actors who do full justice to this wonderful story. I especially enjoyed Richard E Grant's performance as the hissing python, Kaa." - Lesley
"The best ever audio book. This is a full movie without visuals. The characters are voiced so well, the music and sound effects take you to another place entirely. Rudyard Kipling’s age old story is new and fresh, forget Disney! This is the authentic telling. A delight to hear time and again." - Mrs. Y. M. Mariess
"Incredible Performances. I thoroughly enjoyed this performance of The Jungle Book. The entire cast were exceptional and I especially loved Colin Salmon as Bagheera. Normally I'm quite picky about atmospheric sounds however I felt that in this case the background was brilliant. I felt like I could nearly see what was going on. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something not too long but very entertaining." - Pamela
"MAGICAL. I really recommend this audio book, beautifully cast, and perfect for children or adults. I would just remind people that this is Kipling's delicious and sometimes slightly dark version not Disney's! Beautiful, beautiful stuff. Download it immediately." - Irena Jean Wieczerzynska
"A Sunday Afternoon Treat. From beginning to end this production was top class. The finest of voice actors brought this book to life. The music and sound added greatly to my enjoyment of the tale. I would recommend this audio to my friends. It was good to have this story by the talented Rudyard Kipling brought to life and I will certainly attempt some more of his work." - alan

The Jungle Book
Great performances from all the cast which help bring the story to life, it was nice to hear to actual stories as told by the author which differs to that of the major movies.
Only short episodes but really easy going and fun listens.

Good story - terribly fast narration!
It was very fast compared to the books and overall an unpleasant experience. Stick with the original!
