K. Dietry

Worst. Narration. Ever.

Revisado: 11-29-16

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

The plot was fairly decent. However, the narration was terrible to the point of being ludicrous. The voices the narrator used for various characters made them sound like cartoons. His reading was stilted, his inflection was way off, and the number of mispronunciations was too many to count. Some of my "favorites" were "koop de GRAYce" for "coup de grace," "SKOOered" for skewered, and "karp deem" for "carpe diem." I find it hard to believe the author enjoyed this rendition of her work. As I mentioned before, the plot was not terrible (until the very far-fetched and disgusting climax), and some of the characters could have been interesting, but they really weren't developed well. Also, the constant use of the term "the profiler" instead of using the character's name, and the word "uteri," which is so uncommon, became increasingly annoying as the book went on.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Decent little twist at the end - not entirely surprising, but nicely done.

How could the performance have been better?

Anyone else reading this book. Anyone.

What character would you cut from Plain Jane?

The morgue attendant.

Any additional comments?

I hope Audible never promotes or sells another book narrated by Don Hoeksema.
