Books and Chapters Indexed & Chapters in Order

Revisado: 04-03-25

Other reviewers said that the books and chapters were not indexed and that the chapters were out of order. That problem apparently has been corrected. All of the books are listed individually as the main headings. Each book's chapters are listed underneath the main heading. When using the chapter drop down to move to another chapter, the chapters of the current book are highlighted. This form of indexing is something I had not seen in any audible book until early 2025. In the three books I've listened to, the chapters are all in order, so I think it's safe to assume that all of the chapters are in order.

You won't find another book like it

Revisado: 07-05-22

Highly repetitive, but the underlying musical theme is consistent and holds it all together. However, the end was very predictable.

Best way to learn Spanish primarily by audio

Revisado: 11-27-21

this is the best way I have found to learn Spanish primarily by audio. however, you need to download the accompanying guide and refer to it occasionally to get the full benefit.

Good story, annoying narration

Revisado: 07-23-21

Although not one of Wodehouse's best, it's still a good story. However, the narrator was very annoying. He stuck an extra 'r' in so many words. For example, saw became sore, thought became thort and banana became bananer. This was not just for some characters, but for everything he read, including American characters and the narrator. I suggest listening to the book by another narrator.

Good book, but horrid narration

Revisado: 06-09-20

An enjoyable, typical Wodehouse story. However the narrator portrays Bertie Wooster with a slight speech impediment: a hesitation or mild stutter. (You don't hear it in the preview.) This makes the story unlistenable. Unfortunately, the only other version of this book from Aubible has problems too. It is narrated by Frederick Davidson, usually my favorite Wodehouse narrator. However he had voice problems in this book. I don't know which version of this book has the worst narration.

This is not the text of the published book!

Revisado: 12-07-11

I was suspicious about a quote from an interview between Mike Wallace and Frank Lloyd at 6:10 of Chapter 2. It quotes Frank Lloyd Wright as saying to tear down St. Patrick's Cathedral. Hmm... I looked it up in the printed copy of the book by searching the text on Amazon and Google Books. It does not have that quote. In fact, the interview is very different. I check with other sources; the printed copy, not this audiobook, matches the actual interview. I listed for the next 2 minutes and found several more things that had changed. Some were facts, some were grammar. A date was changed, "like" was changed to "such as", etc. This audio book is apparently from a draft before it was fact-checked and grammar-checked. Misquoting Frank Lloyd Wright as saying to tear down St. Patrick's Cathedral might direclty relate to what the author is saying, but if the author has that wrong, what else is wrong in the rest of the book? Can the listeners trust this unfact-checked and unproofed draft of the book? I can't. I want accuracy over ease, so I guess I'll have to read the printed copy.
