Wonderful Story, Excellent Performance
Any additional comments?
I have listened to the earlier abridgment of the original "Born Free", read by Virginia McKenna (who portrayed the author in the movie). Joanna David does an excellent job with this version of the book (which is essentially the whole trilogy in one book). Excellent and well done.

Born Free
I had read the first born Free book which told Elsa's story when I was a child, and really enjoyed listening to this version which includes the sequel which describes how Joy and George helped Elsa to raise and care for her cubs. The story is a little too viciously abridged and it is obvious where some sections have been cut, however you still get the flavour of the train of events and Joy's vivid descriptions of the lions and their surroundings, as well as the opposition they faced in trying to release the cubs successfully back in to the wild. A good read if you always wanted to find out what happened to Elsa's cubs!

Boring Account -too factual
Even though it was a short audiobook it was a struggle to finish it on account of it being very boring. It improved with the second half. The most memorable bit was when the lioness actually died, but this was only half way through. The narration was too cold and bland for my liking. But it was a newsworthy story.
