The narrator Carmine I think that was her name ruined this wonderful book, could not understand a word she spoke. Had to skip the chapters that she narrated. I have enjoyed almost all the LibriVox narrators but this girl was absolutely the worst. I tried everything with volume control, treble and base. Nothing would work to clean it up. Sorry but I really couldn't understand her.


(3.5 stars)

Great story but one reader was soft spoken and hard to understand. Her voice was pretty, but she wasn't loud enough. The recorded audio was muffled too. It made me want to skip the chapters she read.


(2.5 stars)

Great story but one reader was impossible to understand.!That’s really not fair to listeners!


(3 stars)

...only because of one of the readers.

I agree about a certain reader, but...I can't give a 1 to anyone
