I’m glad folks volunteer to read. However, they need to look up the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. Some words were unrecognizable. The readers need to be told how to pronounce the characters’ names, especially if it’s the main character. The story might have been interesting, but I spent much of my listening time cringing at mangled pronunciation.
