Resumen del Editor

Here is an audio edition of the sacred text of the Latter-Day Saint movement that followers believe contains the writings of ancient prophets who lived on the American continent from approximately 2200 B.C. to A.D. 421. A fascinating listen for religious scholars and denominational adherents alike.

reader, has no clue how to read scriptures

narrator repeats verse numbers multiple times for every verse. he doesn't know how to read

Best book I have ever read

Studying and pondering great literature is my favorite pastime. The Book of Mormon was especially profound in its witness and testament of the Lord Jesus Christ. I loved it and leaned powerful principles that have helped me to be a better wife, mother and person. I highly recommend it. FYI: The Book was not written by Joseph Smith, it was translated by him.

This recording has been vastly improved!

Just downloaded this and found that Audible has removed the chapter and verse citings from the recording. It is now so much more enjoyable to listen to. So curious why they don't note this in the description or mark it as another edition. Yes, the narrator could have done a better job (compare this to Max McLean's narration in the Listener's Bible for instance) but it's so much improved from before that I am not going to complain.Thank you, Audible!
Edit 12/14/2019: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has now added their own edition to Audible and it is a much better recording than this one.

Repeating chapter and verse

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

NO

Would you be willing to try another one of Sean Criden’s performances?

No

Any additional comments?

The reader repeats chapter and verse for EVERY verse and it is extremely ANNOYING and unnecessary. Do NOT buy this book unless you want to pull your hair out.

monotone

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was excited to listen to the Book of Mormon. However, the reader was monotone, and it was evident that he hadn't read the pronunciation of some of the names in the Book of Mormon. While it was great to have the Book of Mormon on Audible, there are better versions from the Church.

Love this book! fills my heart with joy

have listened to this book several times, I have prayed and asked if it was true, and I know it's on my heart and soul it is It is God's word and a testament of Jesus Christ visit to the Americas after he was resurrected.

Hard to listen to--broken up with verse numbers

Would you try another book from Joseph Smith and Church of the Latter-day Saints and/or Sean Criden?

Yes, but not scripture because of the naming of every verse. Chapter headings would be enough

Book was read entirely wrong.

If you could sum up The Book of Mormon in three words, what would they be?

The Book is flawless the reader was ridiculous. Maybe he should have checked before he repeated every chapter title and verse number.

What did you like best about this story?

This is a religious book that has important doctrine about Jesus Christ.

What didn’t you like about Sean Crisden’s performance?

Tell Mr Crisden he should have talked to someone LDS (Mormon) on how we read this book. He had no clue and made listening to it impossible. Every single verse number. IE he read I Nephi 1:1 then I Nephi 1:2 :2. It would be like reading a regular book and going Chapter 1 paragraph one one. Then the next paragraph Chapter 1 Paragraph 2 two. I would recommend you have him redo this. I Nephi (read as First Nephi not one Nephi) is one entire book. He would read I Nephi Chapter 1, then read the entire chapter without all the verse numbers being added. Then when you get to chapter 2 You read Chapter 2. Then start reading through the entire chapter and so on. Then when you get to the second Book that would be read Second Nephi the next book is Jacob. Each book has so many chapters. And the chapter headings were left out. They are usually read before starting the verses each chapter. (not critical just usually)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The way it was read made it to annoying to get very far.

Any additional comments?

I guess I should download the bible and see if someone read it Matthew 1:1 Mathew 1:2.

Terrible narration

Loved the content, but horrible rendition. The narrator states the book and chapter and verse number, and then repeats the verse number, for EVERY VERSE. (Eg "First Nephi Chapter One, One, One... I Nephi.... First Nephi Chapter One, Two, Two...) drove me bonkers and I couldn't listen past the first chapter.

lived it, inspired scripture. life changing.

This book testifies if Jesus Christ. It shows how God does miracles among his children here on earth. it also shows how blessed are those who follow Jesus.
