I have Blatty’s audiobook version. It’s like 8 tapes long though. Worth the investment.

sorry Lees version is on 4 tapes would love to hear Blatty is there anywhere to get a download?

Blatty’s version is great, though it deviates and frequently eliminates passages and/or wording, basically reinterpreting parts of the book; small parts, but, well, I guess he has that right. My idea of an audio book is having the complete, unchanged text being read.

Who else feels somewhat cheated by Blatty’s revision (for the audio book) of his famed novel?

I have Blatty’s audio version too, but I would love it if Shirley MacLaine had read Chris’s dialogues.

Merrin,
I found Blatty’s audio book for download here. I only listened to the sample, but it sounds very good

I dislike even the Blatty audio version — it’s incomplete, no matter what the box reads; Blatty, God bless him, omits whole sentences and embellishes others, and for a nerd like me trying to read along to it (because why not?), you can’t. Other than that, it’s worth checking out at least once; Blatty’s got a good reading voice (though during ebellishments he gives a bit too much excitement). Yes, I know, how dare I question Mr. Blatty. 🙂 Great writer-director, great reader, but this is my only gripe against him, minor as it may be.

I wish they could put out a CD version with the exact text of the novel intact, read by Blatty. Really something to hear this story read aloud.

An exact version would be nice… I wish he’d read Legion, too 🙂 It would be worth it for the carp conversation alone 😛
