Truly awful narration of a useful classic

The narration is unbelievably bad, with gross mispronunciations of even simple words like “Italian”, appear in roughly every other sentence; and a total lack of passion or involvement in what is being said. It actually sounds as sloppy and careless as if it a first take cold reading by a high school student who was drunk, stoned, sleep-deprived, or all three - except not as fun or funny, due to the pusillanimous voice of the hapless reader.

That the book being read is a classic and very thoughtful analysis of the rudiments of English grammar by one of its greatest exponents, just ads to the pin-headed absurdity of it all.
