It adds a different twist, which I wouldn't call either an improvement or a detriment, it's just different. It adds on a sort of prequel, which offers an explanation for some of the story's events which were originally pretty inscrutable. In general I felt like things took a while to get going.The first fifteen minutes or so of the story is new material made up for the audio adaptation, which I'm basically neutral about.
I felt like this could have been far shorter this section alone lasts a full five minutes and is entirely irrelevant to the rest of the story. The opening segment featuring the variety show is surely realistic, but I found it overlong, and though convincing it isn't particularly interesting in itself. That being said, I think it shares a drawback with the Mountains of Madness adaption in being sometimes a little too true-to-life. The production is excellent and everything can be clearly heard, while sound effects add a lot of depth and action to the story.The adaption is on the whole excellent.
The actors do very well, though a couple of times I found Ward and Houdini hard to distinguish due to similar voices.
Äänikirja: 4.A very pleasing adaptation of one of my favourite Lovecraft tales. Unsuitable for claustrophobics, people of a nervous disposition, or people with a vivid visual imagination. Will he ever find his way out of the undiscovered tomb through the labyrinth of passages? Can he discover the true origin of the terrible Sphinx? Will he even get out of the tomb alive? While Houdini is more than capable of escaping his bonds.can he escape the putrid undead Pharaohs and their servants? What starts as a strange traveller's adventure to witness a duel at midnight on the summit of one of the pyramids, turns into a nightmare as Houdini is seized, tied up and lowered on a rope far into the bowels of the earth to an unknown tomb where the oldest and most sinister of the Egyptian Pharaohs dwell. While visiting Cairo as a tourist, Houdini and his wife are shown around the pyramids by a mysterious and slightly sinister guide who has a strange hollow voice and looks like an old pharaoh.
