Stop performance

Revisado: 01-15-25

When will the narrators learn these are not plays. They are not to be “performed” I have been reading books for almost 70 years without anyone’s help. Just read the durn thing to me and let me determine voice inflections.

Couldn’t get past the narration.

Revisado: 02-27-24

I don’t like to call the reading of books “performance”. It is not a play. When this reader first began her narration, I thought she was pretty good. However, after a few times of her mispronouncing mature, it really started getting annoying. She would say it as if it ended in TORE like I tore my shirt, but in fact, the word ends with ure like, I sure am hungry. So she constantly said ma tore for mature throughout the end of the book. I was so annoyed that I was ready to throw the book out the window because for some reason this book used that word a lot. Also I did not care for her changing her voice. Every time she was reading some thing in quotation marks. She had one voice she used for every male and one voice for every female. Totally not necessary. Please just read the book.

Good book I enjoyed it.

Revisado: 02-01-24

Story was good. Maybe not as compelling as some of hers. Didn’t care for the narrator although she didn’t try to “perform” as most of them do. It’s a book, just read. It’s not a play, don’t perform. I wish Rule herself had recorded some of her books before she passed.

Stop “performing

Revisado: 11-01-23

This is a book, not a play, don’t want a performance. Just read. And if narrators only knew how silly they sound when they try to change their voice for different sex speaking. Don’t need it. I’m perfectly capable of imagining it myself. And please learn how to pronounce “mature”. Very irritating. Great stories though.

Hate so called performance.

Revisado: 10-18-23

This is a book. Not a play. I hate when narrators try to “perform”. Do they know how stupid they sound when trying to sound like a girl ?? I just want it read to me. I can imagine my own voice inflections and whatnot. If I wanted a performance I would go see a play.

Very poor reading

Revisado: 09-14-23

To begin with let me say from the start I do not like a so-called performance. This is a book not a play, so I don’t want it performed. Just read it to me. That being said this performance was terrible she did not speak the way teen speak. She made them sound incredibly whiny no matter what they were saying. Her emphasis was way off on everything, and when she read the text that the teens sent back-and-forth to each other they weren’t anything like any team I had ever heard speak. It was so incredibly bad that it ruined the whole book for me and I couldn’t wait for it to end. I will never get another book with this narrator.

Excellent in all areas and I’ve never said that about an audiobook before. Here’s your two more words.

Good story, don’t perform please.

Revisado: 02-28-23

I don’t like stories where the reader feels like they have to perform. It is a book not a play. If I wanted a performance, I would go see a play. And if they only knew how ridiculous they sound when they try to change voices. I don’t even do that when I’m reading to myself. Just read the book to me while I go about doing other things. Just read.

Good book

Revisado: 12-17-22

Book was very good but I don’t like when readers “perform”. It’s not a play! Stop trying to imitate male and female voices. It just sounds silly. Just read the damn book.

Performance?

Revisado: 08-03-22

I don’t know why publishers feel the reader has to perform. It is a book not a play. If I wanted a performance I would go to the theater. I don’t like How the reader changes her voice for each character. I am perfectly capable of imagining the different voices of each person. Neither do I need the voice inflection as again I have my own imagination and I can hear it in my head as it is read. Please just read me the book. And in this book in particular I don’t like the voices that she chose or their way that she thinks they spoke. It kind of ruined the listening for me.
