T. E. Lawrence
About this listen
Although T. E. Lawrence, commonly known as "Lawrence of Arabia", died in 1935, the story of his life has captured the imagination of succeeding generations. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a monumental work in which he chronicles his role in leading the Arab Revolt against the Turks during the First World War. A reluctant leader, and wracked by guilt at the duplicity of the British, Lawrence nevertheless threw himself into his role, suffering the blistering desert conditions and masterminding military campaigns which culminated in the triumphant march of the Arabs into Damascus.

maybe the best narration i have listened to
i read the abreiviated version (revolt in the desert) while travelling in jordan and lawrence was a very fine writer - camping in wadi rum made it come to life. this unabridged version of 7 pillars of wisdom keeps the reader interested and gives all sots of incites into the life of lawrence and contemporary figures involvex in the action of the arab revolt. it is of its time so be prepared for lawrences biases - how much is embellishment is hard to say. the narration was flawless it is either the best casting ever or a voice actor of incredible talenr but i was utterly engaged and convinced it was lawrence himself reading his own words.

A great book really well read
I've tried to read this book in hard copy several times and never got past page 6. With Roy McMillan's reading I have listened to it right through several times. It is so easy to imagine him as the voice of Lawrence and he brings it all to life - the characters, the geography and the bouts of philosophy.

Excellent story brilliantly told
The narration was excellent and beautifully (I won’t say read as that would be an insult) performed by Mr McMillian.
The story of this adventure adds even more to the myth than I already knew, and certainly brings in details that were not covered by the brilliant David Lean film.
I will definitely look out for more Audible books by this production company and narrator.

Loved it
Powerful characters, Immense events, articulately told, beautifully read. A real gem.
[Why does Audible make me write more words than I want to for a review?]

An overabundance of camels ...
.and a surprising amount of weather. Interesting if somewhat repetitive; riding, eating and the destruction of railway lines. Precise and beautiful prose, disturbing introspection. Glad to have listened to it but somewhat relieved to have made it to the end.

A Must Must Read
The poetic descriptions; the humanity; the joy; the physical and mental strength; the understood; the respect; the love; the frustrations. You live every moment.
Churchill wept at T E Lawrence’s funeral. I weep that this wonderful man is no more.
I will read and reread.

Wonderful use of the English language
Amazing story wonderfully told written by an obviously gifted being. It is a pity about Lawrence's early death

Excellent
One of those rare books that can have a real effect on one's life. "Wordy" but stick with it, it's well worth it...
