did not like the first reader

First read has good voice but is sorely lacking in reading skill and attempts to make up for that with an artificial air of superiority which become quite distracting.
well read

Good story but the 1st is awful. Does he have a speech impediment? Even the kid that follows him has vastly improved since I began listening to him many books ago.
