Pretty good

I wanted to get through this as fast as possible. The man reading had excellent diction so I could understand what he was saying and read along even after putting it at such a fast speed. I thought the book was interesting, so I’m happy.

Beautiful story, horrendous narration

There’s got to be a better performance of this book out there. Find it and enjoy.

Narrator was poor

Narrator had no clue how to pronounce words and used slang not appropriate for the context of this story

Horrible narrator

This might have been a good story, but the narrator butchered it. He midprounced most of the local names. It was excruciatingly hard to listen to his reading

Bad narration.

Didn’t like the narration of the story. Hard to listen to. Some of the names of places and rivers are mispronounced . It does have some interesting stories.
