Very interesting, fun, and informative book, but the narrator did not research how to pronounce quintessentially "Boston" words. I was listening to this with some friends who aren't Boston natives (I am) , and the friends intend to visit Boston soon. I had to grit my teeth to keep from interrupting to correct what we were hearing. For example:

A "frappe" (ice cream drink) is not pronounced "frap-ay:. In New England, it is said like "frap". One syllable.
The Boston NBA team are not the "Kell-tics". They are the Celtics, prounounced "Sel-tics".
The street behind the bleachers of Fenway Park is not "Lands-own." It is "Lans-down" Street.
"Dorchester" is not pronounced like "Dorsh-ter". It is "Door-chester".

Linda Fitak even pronounced "Massachusetts" incorrectly. There's an A in there between the "Mass" and the "Chusetts". Use it!

There are more errors, but you get the idea. I would think a book about going beyond being a tourist would at least make sure they know what they're talking about. I know that the accent can sometimes be distracting and even disarming, but I would think she'd at least know what a professional basketball team's name is.


The narrator should have done a little research...
