Distracting narrator
Reviewed: 03-02-17
The book itself was quite good and well-written, but the reader's intonation is highly distracting. Almost every clause ends with the same inflection, whether mid-sentence, the end of a paragraph, or the end of a chapter. It gives the impression that no line of thought is ever complete, and it makes the story hard to follow. The problem slowly fades over the course of the book, or maybe I just started to get used to it and filter it out. Nonetheless, I will not purchase another audiobook narrated by Clive Chafer.
