Reviews:
1/Different readers for each chapters. Some are good some not good. Chapter 13’s reading style doesn’t match. This is not high drama. I can’t imagine St Augustine reading it to his audience like that.
2/Maria Boulding’s translation of this theological and literary classic is undoubtedly masterful.
That said, each chapter is read by a different performer, with some performances being great and others okay.
Still, the translation is enough for me to recommend this version above all others.
3/Loved the voices that read this, they did it great justice. This translation by Maria Boulding keeps you engaged.
Notes for the publisher: Toward the end of book V, from the chapter V times 41:33-41:58, the following line gets repeated and the redundant recording was never properly edited out: “At first the case he was making began to seem defensible to me, and I realized that the Catholic faith, in support of which I had believed nothing could be advanced against Manichean opponents, was in fact intellectually respectable. This realization was particularly keen when once, and again, and indeed frequently, I heard some difficult passage of the Old Testament explained figuratively;” – Saint Augustine, Bishop of Hippo. The Confessions (The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century) (pp. 232-233). New City Press. Kindle Edition.
In chapter at timestamp 17:17 we actually hear the narrator apologize and restart the sentence.
