Last Crusade Novelization on Tape -- Anyone heard it?

Posted by Brett (Maverick) Lambert from Port6.westworld.ca on May 14, 2000 at 19:00:43:

On Thursday night, me and my brother were out at the library looking
at books and things like all the cool kids do. Bwa ha ha! :)
Anyways, as we were looking around, James stumbled upon a "Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade Book on Tape" where basically some drunk
old man reads the book and it gets recorded and sold to people who are
too lazy to read (i.e. bud-arc). So I say "what the hell?" and I take
it out of the library. It was voiced by William Conrad. I must say,
it's rather terrible!! Those Books on tape are very pitiful. They
don't show any emotion, no sound effects, no different voices, just
you and William Conrad for like 4 hours reading along to Indiana Jones
and the Last Crusade, and basically he just butchers it. They should
have done a Radio Drama instead. Those things are much better then
listening to some corpse making Indy's brilliant adventures sound
worse then "Bud-arc's Family Vacation Slideshow" (man THAT was
boring). If you find it, take it out of the library at your own risk.
:)

P.S. Sorry about you being the butt of my jokes, bud-arc. No hard
feelings buddy? You know I was joking. You accept? GOOD!!! :D
P.P.S. There was however ONE interesting thing about the novelization.
In the scene where Indy is in his office looking at the mail and other
materials on the desk, it said that he had some copies of "Esquire"
magazine. Cool!! Indy's the man! It kinda makes you wonder, if this
were the 90s, would he be checking out "Maxim" magazine? He probably
would.
