Bad Narration of a Great Book
Reviewed: 11-02-24
The book itself is absolutely remarkable, a true treasure of insight and wisdom. The content is deeply enriching, with a wealth of knowledge that makes it a must-read (or in this case, a must-listen) for anyone interested in understanding the depths of this epic.
However, the narration was nothing short of a disaster. It’s clear that no research was done on the correct pronunciations, especially with the Sanskrit terms, which are central to the work. The narrator’s mispronunciations make many sentences almost incomprehensible, detracting significantly from the experience. Instead of enhancing the journey through this profound text, the narration disrupts it, showing a lack of respect for the language and its intricacies. It’s unfortunate that such a powerful work was diminished by a careless approach to narration.
Despite this, I would still recommend reading the book itself. It’s a masterpiece, filled with amazing insights, but in this case, I’d strongly advise against the audiobook.
