Poor narration

Revisado: 06-09-24

The narrator is so annoying that I was unable to listen past the first chapter. He uses a very pretentious, seemingly made-up, accent. He is unnecessarily dramatic for the subject matter. His style of narration would be slightly more tolerable if he were reading a novel. When narrating this non-fiction book, I couldn’t get past his voice to hear the important content. This experience was a reminder to always listen to the sample before purchasing a book. I know it is an excellent book by a well-known author. I will have to read the hard copy.

Painful narration

Revisado: 05-11-22

The book was very informative and interesting, but the use of more than one narrator was distracting. The voices sounded odd, like those of sad robots. No one talks this way in real life. I had to fast forward through the vignettes where people stated their regrets in a order to hear the content.

Narration is painful

Revisado: 04-01-18

Because I am lazy, I never take the time to write these reviews unless I’m compelled. I like Pam Houston’s writing, but I haven’t actually heard a word, nor really truly, because the narration makes me want to poke my ears out. Slow, depressed, sing songy wah wah wah. No passion. It’s like she’s reading out loud, but thinking about what she’s going to make for dinner.
