Actor Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) discusses his narration of 'Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel' by A.J. Hartley and David Hewson. Armitage tells us what he hopes people will love about the story, how it delves into everything Shakespeare didn't explore, and why he didn't expect recording 'Hamlet' to be so much fun. This is Hamlet as you've never experienced it before.

What a beautiful voice !!!! Back in the 90's I watched a movie called Love Potion No. 9 and in one of the scenes they explain Love potion stimulates the vocal chords and the sound coming out has a direct effect on the opposite sex, making them fall in love with that person. I truly believe that Mr. Armitage has had some of that love potion. Because the first time I heard him, I fell in love with his voice and every time I hear him speak I fall in love with him all over again. He can read a software installation guide to me and I'll have little hearts in my eyes.

TillaTequila72 He has it all. Hes gorgeous, that voice, smart, sensitive, and sweet. *sigh*. When he does the whispery softer voice, omg, done like dinner.

I am SO buying this when it comes out. I could listen to that man read the instruction manual to my washing machine and I'm pretty sure I would be entertained and quite pleased!

If Richard Armitage narrated instruction manuals, I think I would actually pay attention to the directions for once, ha! Your comment really made me giggle though. I'm just imagining such a thing. ;)

Thanks for posting. Richard Armitage is, as usual, fascinating while talking about his job. He always has so many interesting things to say, his quiet passion is contagious. I'm more eager than before to get the audiobook, since hints Richard gave are very intriguing. I loved the previous A.J. Hartley and David Hewson audiobook Macbeth, so original and well written and perfectly performed by Alan Cumming.

So glad that I purchased this, it is absolutely fantastic. Richards voices just take you away. You become so engrossed in this narration. It is done so perfectly and with his voice and presentation I have started on my second listening. I would buy it again and again.

I just finished listening to this story! Wow! The voices that this man produces is astonishing. A wonderful fleshing out of the story; despite knowing all the stops along the way it is heartbreaking.
