The Moon Maid


Read by Thomas A. Copeland

(4.4 stars; 124 reviews)

Sabotage accidentally takes Earth's first manned interplanetary expedition to the Moon, where a sublunar adventure ensues, involving two intelligent species and a good deal of fighting as well as romance. The perceptive reader will perceive the author's peculiar notions concerning the behavior of volcanos, an offense against scientific fact that is hard to pardon in a writer of science fiction, but if it can be overlooked, the variety of incident and the fast pace of the action, full of surprises, amply repay the reader's generous indulgence.

Reviews

A great story read by a great narrator


(5 stars)

STORY The Moon Maid has a nice pace, and good characters. One of the selling points is the imaginative world Edgar Rice created, from the creatures to the science of his world You can tell he had many great ideas, but balanced the descriptions well with the story progression. NARRATOR Tomas Copeland had great sense stress and modulation, making it easy to follow and easier to listen to. He did well reading each character differently, making it easier to tell which character was talking. He did especially well at putting the right emotions into the character dialogue, making them come alive. The special effects, while not complicated or frequent, were very well done and fit the setting perfectly. CONCLUSION A fantastic audiobook, made possible by pairing an excellent author with an excellent reader.

Good book and narrator


(4 stars)

Audio quality is a bit low (on my device at least), but the narrator is nice to listen to! This book is fairly standard fair for Edgar Rice Burroughs. I wish the other two parts that this book sets up were also available since this is more like an intro and the better stories come in book 2 and 3.

A good story and a great reader.


(4 stars)

It is a good story but ends abruptly, which leaves the listener hanging. I assume there are other novels following that continue the story. The reader does an excellent job. Thanks LibriVox.

Couldn't listen


(2 stars)

Nearly all the S's are pronounced with a shrill whistle - I couldn't focus on the story. It's a shame because the reader has a lovely voice otherwise.

All a bit fanciful


(5 stars)

If you enjoy E.R.B. you will enjoy this well narrated tale, all be its similarity to his other works.

The Moon Maid was terrific.


(4.5 stars)

Another fun ERB adventure on the moon this time with a wonderful narration.


(4 stars)

Too funny the lack of knowledge due to the year in which it was written.

Enjoyed
