This is what Christmas sounds like

Revisado: 12-12-20

I first heard this version of A Christmas Carol in 1989 after checking it out from the Dallas library. No other version I have heard since then was as satisfying. I couldn’t remember who the publisher was or who the narrator was but I never stopped trying to find it again. The moment I listened to the sample I knew my long search was finally over. I shed tears of joy throughout the production. It was just as perfect as I remembered. After decades of yearning, I have finally come “home” for Christmas.

Don't buy this audiobook.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Honestly, I don't really know if the story was good or bad because I couldn't get past the first chapter. The narrator is one of those readers who has a distinct rhythm that has nothing to do with the sentence being read. It was repetitive...like a Chinese water torture. I made it a few minutes into the first chapter and decided to keep my molars instead of continuing.

Would you ever listen to anything by Robert K. Tanenbaum again?

I have listened to most of these novels. I have found the narrators to be a mixed bag. This was the worst. I might listen to another simply because I've invested so much time in this series, but not if it's narrated by Bob Walter.

Would you be willing to try another one of Bob Walter’s performances?

I will never get another audiobook narrated by Bob Walter.

Any additional comments?

I will probably get the Kindle version, or perhaps check the book out from the library, or maybe wait and pick a copy up from a used book store. I would like to give the book another chance, but I simply could not tolerate the torturous eccentricities of the narrator.
