Horrific & Unedited Narration

How did this book ever pass Audible’s quality standards for narration?? In the opening chapter, it’s clearly not even edited since the narrator speaks, makes a mistake in narration, LETS OUT AN AUDIBLE GROWL OF FRUSTRATION, and then goes back to re-read the material. This happens MULTIPLE TIMES! Flabbergasted. The rest of the book is no better, with the narrator constantly mis-pronouncing words, stuttering, skipping words entirely, failing to space edits out at a natural pace... and often shows up with a trembling uncertain voice. I cannot emphasize the gravity of these mispronounciations.... it's as if this person has only a rudimentary grasp of the english language, the butchery completely inexcusable for what is ostensibly a professional narrator. And it wasn't just once or twice, at some points I was aghast to see that this happened almost every sentence. "Endocrinologist" became "indoctrinologist," "pediatrician" becomes "pedotrician," TF??

Needless to say, this completely took away from the material.

Other than that, the book itself is a bit of an editor’s nightmare, it badly needed more editing and it was never clear who was speaking or writing…. A lot of it was really repetitive as a result.

I appreciated a couple of the accounts that went into deep honesty about the darkest side of their experience, however due to this narrator sounding whiny and over the top melodramatic, it was difficult to feel the depth of these people’s words.

Overall, there are definitely better books on this material out there- I just wish the writers got better editing advice so they could more effectively communicate their message.

Truly atrocious series from start to finish. This is the weakest book by far and also the longest.

For those who are skeptical about the narrator...

I was originally upset about the narrator switch, and yet I read audiobooks at 1.5x speed, which made it almost the same thing anyway. Both narrators are great, don't miss this epic story because of it.
