Many readers, most reasonably good

I greatly prefer a good quality single reader rendition of a book. This one stands out in that there are many readers all of whom are more or less good. No one is awful, although the quality of equipment used on a couple of chapters approaches but thankfully doesn't quite reach what could be described as awful. In short, no one ruins this reading, making it a bit remarkable considering the number of voices.

arlh is too hard on the reader

Admittedly, the reader in question could not pronounce the English "thorn." but his intonation was such that he successfully interpreted the moods to the listener. In fact, had he read the entire novel. any listener would have quickly been attuned to his accent. This only points out that this fine novel suffered (as do countless others) by the inexplicable use of multiple readers, making continuity and comprehension difficult. Nevertheless, listen to this one; it is well worth it.

avoid. 1 reader only spoils the whole experience

arlh

all but 1 of the readers are quite remarkable in diction pacing and volume. alas mario pineda is quasi uncomprehensible and reads too fast. his thick accent makes his sections a strain to understand and keep up with...torture spoils the gravitas of the book. his sections should be redone

Solid read

Loved the readers in this book. They had great pronunciation and accenting. The story is a bit slow in the middle, but read till the end. Really shows that the "curse" of money is the greed of gain surrounding it.

Mario is quite hard to understand unfortunately

Great book and most of narrators were grand. Mario kind if ruined for me though. He was quite hard to understand at times.

Wonderful novel but had to stop listening because of one reader with a very heavy accent that my ear could not get used to.
