About this listen

Will Rabjohns, perhaps the most famous wildlife photographer in the world, has made his reputation chronicling the fates of endangered species. But after a terrible accident, Will is left in a coma. And in its depths, he revisits the wildernesses of his youth and relives his life with a mysterious couple who have influenced his life as an artist and a man.

When Will awakens, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery - one where he will penetrate the ultimate mystery and finally unlock the secret of his destiny.

Soaring, provocative and passionate, Sacrament is a masterwork from the pen of one of today's most acclaimed authors.

Barker does a good job at telling a moving and philosophical horror type story. not one of his best, though.
The story is somewhat slow and is tedious in the middle and towards the end, unlike Barker.
Characters were well written and in gaging.
Narrated done well, although his attempts at a female voice characters were cringeing at times and laughable, especially the American ones.

While certainly not up there with Clive Barker's best work ( Weaveworld & Imajica), Sacrament is definitely worth a listen. It's beautifully written with some great characters.
I really enjoyed Chris MacDonnell's narration. His Southern American accent was slightly off for one of the characters, but the other characterisations were spot on. It was a pleasure to listen to.
Another quality presentation from Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.

This is maybe Barker’s most personal and emotional novel that I’ve found so far. I loved it as much as his best. The narrator does a decent job, but I would have appreciated stronger accents for some characters.

Beautiful

As I said in the title, this is nit a very typical Barker story, but it is superb.

What you will get is a story that is (I am willing to bet) the most personal story he ever written. A lot of what he writes seems to be a reflection of his own experience, told in a way that really prove his mastery of language and story-telling.

Just don't expect horror.

Not typical, but consistently amazing Barker

I struggled to get past the first few chapters, but after several attempts, I made concerted effort to finish it, and I'm glad I did. It is a very depressing story and I would have liked more uplifting moments but that's the thing with Clive Barker... you never know if he'll fill your dreams with angels or demons.

Compelling once you get over the initial chapters

twists and turns up and down, murder and mayhem a startling good book. Am a broker fan any way but this 2nd even 3rd time round still surprised me with is beauty

eloquent and surprising

I couldn't bear the narrator, and basically checked out after a few chapters. This could be a great book, but the narrator had such a flat tone and lack of emotion that he may as well have been reading through the yellow pages.

Could be a good story, I have no idea.

So, as the title of my review indicates, the narrator is sleep inducing, but regardless of that fact, this story is miserable so he is a good choice for such a depressing tale.
The story starts with misery and ends in misery which is now what I wish on the author, I bought the hardcover of this abomination when it was first released. I threw it in the dustbin after a few chapters, and what puzzles me most is what on earth posessed me to buy this audio version but buy it I did (for whatever reason) and I got no further with this version than I did with the print version although I am happy to say I did not have to throw this copy into the bin.
This is a nasty tale of nasty people and I do not recommend it to anybody. I was previously a Clive Barker fan before this book.

Narrator is a good sleep aid
