I do have to say I found the narration lacking. I read a previous review calling it “robotic” and I certainly have to second it. In addition, he mispronounced many words. And not in a tomato/to-mah-to kind of way, but really straightforward things. Like mispronouncing the country of Belarus. Or the word debacle. Many other examples abound and it was a bit distracting.
