Mortal Engines - Extract read by Kenneth Branagh

[NourGwenn]

I love listening to him narrating the story, but I think they should have hired a woman to do Hester's voice. ;) The way Kenneth Branagh voices her makes her sound whiny...

[figlopdan840822]

Can't find this book anywhere on my country. Where can i get the audiobook online?

[fulhamrobadob]

Kenneth Branagh is a brilliant actor and director but completely unsuited to doing the voices for this. (For those interested, you can buy this on Amazon)

Hope no-one is deterred from reading the books which are quite brilliant.

Also hope Peter Jackson succeeds in making this into a decent film

[Jontman42]

Hester doesn't sound like that :(

[TheFhux]

I've read the first book soon 30 times, I read it nine times the first nine days I had it...

I love 'em... I really love 'em...

[newhopeRocks]

New book... NEW BOOK> Too everyone that does not yet know.. search for a book called "Fever Crumb" and the newest books yet "Web of sir"

[realcelestialphoenix]

@newhopeRocks i think you mean 'web of air'

[allthisfuss]

Where can I get this auido book? I've searched everywhere. You'd think if Kenneth Branagh has recorded it they'd sell it.

[IsabelBarrett40]

Nope. Pete, you live on another planet, far far away from here

[PetrossDelta]

I live in the US and I really wish I could get the whole series as a book on CD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IQuiteLikeCookies]

I heart this man.

Awesomeness personified.

I have a really cringey crush on him...none of my friends know. Shhh...

[crazychicken098]

these book's are awsome ive read them once and ive just started again

[autoharp108]

These books are fantastic! Municipal Darwinism is genius. I was inspired to write a song. Visit my "Songs for Human and Autoharp" page to hear 'London E'er Shall Thrive'.

[7fslayer]

im reading this a school ive fell asleap twice its so boring

[AdelineNoel]

I agree, they should ake a movie. But still, i cant imagine it as a movie at all.

[finbarrmcfin]

I read the book in two days and moved straight onto Predator's Gold. I finished that and I was STILL in love with this quartet. This book is MINT!

[willfaz07]

I agree

[chelsterPOTCHP]

love dis book they should make a film

[lieselotte327]

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME book!!

And the next three ('Predator's Gold', 'Infernal Devices' and 'A Darkling Plain' - in that order for reading) are just as good.

But Mortal Engines is my favourite because it's just such an odd concept that really works very well!

[benibo0]

verg good book

[olive345]

he has a funny voice...who is he?

[tediousoldfools]

Kenneth Branagh is probably best known for his roles as Hamlet (1996), Henry V (1989), as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing (1993) and Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter. (2002)

[kthelmir]

He was in a remake of 'Wallander' recently - which makes this audio clip oddly hilarious by way of contrast!

[tediousoldfools]

I think that the variety of roles he has had so far in his career demonstrates what a diverse and consummate performer he is.

[mom63423]

Lengthy applause and standing ovation for your answer, TOF!

[Straif5]

Sweet. Love this book.

[zakkmiester]

[orcaman15]

[SomecallmeJack]
