DISAPPOINTING READ

(1,5 Sterne)

Fortunately, this was one of the simple plots, so the two chapters which were virtually impossible to understand did not radically disable it. I realize that I am fortunate in that I can listen to books, since my reading is limited by eye problems. I also understand that the readers donate their valuable time, and I thank them. Having said that, I have often had to listen very intently to understand readers for whom English is not a primary language, and I can usually understand enough to get the gist of the story. Fine. But, for the editor to allow indecipherable recordings to get on the website is incomprehensible. For example, the questionable reader on this book contributed three chapters. The second, while subject to problems concerned with accent, was quite understandable, but the other two were not. Someone did not properly oversee the compilation.

Great story, but . . .

(3 Sterne)

Great story, but 1 reader is so bad, it is painful to listen to. The later chapters she read had so much background noise (did I hear a vacuum?) and static, i could barely make out her voice. Especially bad quality was the last chapter wrapping it all up! I'm frankly surprised a recording of such poor technical quality was approved to be included. Hopefully the problem chapters will be rerecorded.

Great book until a woman started narrating it

(1 Sterne)

Great book until Kathleen Moore started narrating it...so very bad and totally annoying voice. Stephen Gagin was great. Too bad Stephen he did not narrate the whole novel.

(3 Sterne)

Do you review the submissions before publishing. you can do better. Episode 7 and episode 13 are almost inaudible.

Unable to understand reader

(1 Sterne)

very hard to understand one of the readers. Ruined the book.

(2,5 Sterne)

the last chapter was impossible to understand. I presume they all lived happily ever after.

(4 Sterne)

the readers whose 1st language is not English are difficult to understand
