Reseñas





Dawcat
I found it very hard to listen to as the reading was very stilted as if the reader was struggling with the text. Added to that every so often a pasted in word would be magnified ..one where the pronunciation was impossible for the reader so some other source was used. I found myself focusing more on the struggling reader than the story. It was such a battle for him there was nothing left for emotion or variance in tone.
Great Book, Mixed Reading





Wharton Lover
The first 6 or 7 chapters (read by women) are great but then a heavily accented male voice reads too quickly, fails to differentiate characters in dialogue, mispronounces words and in general disrupts the flow. That being said, other voices return & restore the reading. Still, this one male voice inadvertently draws attention to itself and away from the story. Disappointing
