KIM

Margaret Hilton's appealing voice ebbs and flows with the action and conversation in this dynamic tale about India and Kim. Kim sounds true to life as a resourceful and winning young man--a survivor. The multitude of diverse characters such as the lama and the priest convey seriousness and devotion while the many street people and upper-class individuals Kim encounters daily sound gritty or respectable, as befitting their stations. Most enjoyable is Hilton's lovely pronunciation of Indian words and names. Perfect for armchair travelers of all ages. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2014]
