Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile
Journey back to the days when men were Men and listen to the sounds of the seas, the mixture of accents and the rule of the Wolf. Bikel combines his years on stage and screen to create a spellbinding rendition of this tale. His clear voice brings chills to the listener as he relates the trials and tribulations of Humphrey Van Weydon, the cruelty of Wolf Larsen and life on the Ghost, their ship. While the abridgment brings out the meat of the story, Bikel captures its essence with strident tones and interesting characterizations. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Barry Palmer, Union Leader, February 1991
"I had read this London book when I was a kid; it was exciting then, and Whitman's fine performance makes it exciting now."

Sun-Sentinel, September 1990
"The Sea Wolf is a thrilling book, in the old-fashioned sense, and it still manages to convey the underlying ideas that obsessed its author. Veteran actor Stuart Whitman...reads the story brilliantly. His gravelly, manly voice is perfect."
