Mirron Willis is the worst narrator I’ve ever listened to

Revisado: 09-20-24

I’ve been listening to audiobooks for well over a decade, and have never heard a worse narrator.

Willis strains to pronounce “memoir” as if he were French- ironically while discussing memoirs of invented identities. I could forgive his mispronunciation of “Agassiz” and “Daguerreotype” were it not for his ridiculous insistence on a French-y sounding “memoir”.

Long vowels are used incorrectly. (ie; “thee” before consonants, stressed “ā” mid-sentence)

Rhythm and intonation are irregular, and sound like those of an inexperienced reader.

Overall, the narration sounds jilted and unnatural. It made a good book almost unbearable to listen to.

Phenomenal narration

Revisado: 03-28-21

I’ve never listened to a book (either in English or Spanish) with such impressive narration. Jordi Boixaderas was phenomenal- consistent and convincing. I read this book years ago and it was a pleasure to revisit in audio.

Poor narration distracts from story

Revisado: 07-11-19

A brilliant story unfortunately ruined by extremely poor narration. The narrator’s sing-song over exaggeration is reminiscent of how one would read to a five year old. Predicable syllabic intonation in every sentence sounds ridiculous and unnatural. Highly disappointed with this Audible purchase.
