Gentleman Bastards

British narrator Michael Page has won a slew of awards with good reason: he's one of the best narrators in the business. and he brings all his formidable skill to the character of Locke Lamora, that infamous smooth-talking thief who targets the rich to enrich himself.The story of Locke Lamora and his friends is one of the best fantasy series out there. But the fantastic story is brought to even a higher level by the performance of the narrator Michael Page.So deft is this performance of Locke (and friends) that Michael Page IS Locke Lamora; so complete is the embodiment of Locke by Page's startling performance that it is not possible to think of any other voice inside your mind once you hear Page's rendition of Locke Lamora.This is perhaps the best fantasy audiobook performance there is...and in a genre with some outstanding audiobook narrators doing the fantasy genre some serious justice, Michael Page stands out as my absolute favorite British speaker of the bunch. Page is also much more than a plain and impartial 'narrator'; he's also one of the best voice actors who channels the personality, voice, and mannerisms of the characters he reads. So if you love a British accent and a narrator with some serious voice acting skills, Michael Page is the man. Hell if you don't like audiobooks, give this audiobook series a go -- it will convert you to the wonders of the audiobook format, showing you just how superior the experience is over reading a book.For one of the best renditions of a character (one that's perfection personified), listen to The Gentleman Bastards by Michael Page.Listen to a sample of Michael Page's voice
