I love the story but....

The narrator took alot away from the story. The performance seemed stilted and the pauses in the reading began to get on my nerves. I am sure in other types of books this is fine but with the Green Gable series needs a certain flow to it. I would suggest that one looks for another narrator when purchasing this book and other books in the Green Gable series.

Narration so awkward it spoils the story!

Not sure what language narrator was trying to speak- inflections were weird - does Avonlea really have 4 syllables? I want to know!

Wrong pronunciation

My only issue is that it really bothered me every time the narrator read "Avonlea" and pronounced it "A-vawn-lee-Ah" when it's just "A-vawn-lee". Being half Islander half Nova Scotian I'm very aware of it's proper pronunciation so it was like nails on a chalkboard every time. was actually sort of painful not going to lie.

Classic, terrible narration

The narrator reads like William Shatner but with a very annoying, deep voice. The pausing during quotes is unbearable. He pronounces words wrong like Avonlea as ah-von-lee-a. His character voices are horrible, both male and female.

Not as good as Anne of Green Gables!

It was nice to hear a continuation of Anne’s story but it is just no comparison to the original Anne of green gables. I also didn’t care for the narrator—he was pretty monotonous and dry.

Great story but horrible performance

The story was great. I love this book series. However, it is not fitting that a guy should narrate the series at all. He has too deep of a voice for me to be able to understand what he is saying, and he talks too softly. I can barely hear him. Otherwise, the story is great. I would recommend this book to my aunt Beckey.

awful narration.

Awful robotic sounding narration, I couldn't even finish it. I'll wait my turn for the library copy.
