Critiques

I came for the first half


(4 étoiles)

This book is obviously a classic. The first half is exactly how I hoped. The second half I could have done without. I greatly appreciate the reader taking the time to produce this and feel like anyone who feels otherwise should probably not comment. Thank you for your reading!

Terrible Narration


(0.5 étoiles)

The narrator was terrible: she doesn't seem to know how to pronounce words in English. This book also has quite a few French words in it, which were butchered beyond all recognition. She probably should have started with a much easier book that was only in English and with shorter words that she could actually pronounce. Listening to this was like listening to somebody with a mouthful of marbles who had only seen English written and never heard it. She also seemed to be doing some kind of ASMR thing by basically whispering the entire book with a microphone inside her mouth.
