Story was good, but the narration wasn't
Reviewed: 02-18-20
I could only listen to a small part because the narrator's voice made my ears cry. What I heard of the book was great though. I'm going to read the rest in Kindle form.

What did you love best about The Manhattan Hunt Club?
It was a fantastic story. I read it as a kid and when I saw it on here, I couldn't wait to read it again!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Manhattan Hunt Club?
Meeting the homeless man that was shy and stole purses.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of David Daoust?
Almost anyone! While his narration was fantastic, his imitation of voices were TERRIBLE! It almost turned me off to the book. Some whined, women talked like men...it was horrible. But his narration otherwise was good. There was a lot of dialog in the book though.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Teen gets kidnapped and hunted by top members of NYC society.
Any additional comments?
It was a good book, my only complaint was how the narrator voiced out the women and children.

What disappointed you about Astral Projection: Guided Meditation for Beginner's Spirit Travel?
The way the voice came across varied throughout the entire book. It would change in the middle of a section, bouncing me out of a relaxed state. At times I heard her moving things around on her desk too. I can't use this as a meditation tool. It was a waste of money!
What could Subliminal Hypnosis have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Keep everything consistent. Keep the voice and background the same throughout the chapter. If it has to change, change it (and then keep it consistent) in the next chapter. Don't move around either. I don't want to hear a chair move or papers rustle.
Would you be willing to try another one of uncredited’s performances?
No. Not at all.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
In the very beginning, it was able to get me into a relaxed state. The problems occurred before I could get into a deep meditative state.
Any additional comments?
No
