Too simple and the reading could be better

Revisado: 10-29-18

I'd say it's almost too simple for a beginners introduction to astronomy. It's at the level of 5th or 6th grade. I hardly learned any new information that I haven't heard before. It may be good for young children to start off with, but for adults it's almost an insult to their intelligence to pick up this book to start off in astronomy. I would've liked to have more technical terms in there and a bit of longer explanations in each chapter, if it should've been for adults as well. As it stands it's just too simple for adults, unless they're really simple themselves.
The narrator should've had someone correct him with the pronunciation of quite a few words where he puts the emphasis in the wrong places. My thought is that he's dyslexic, though my bf is the same and he does a way better reading, even with long and difficult words. Either way the narrator needs to get someone to help him with the more difficult words for next time he's doing a narration of this kind. And maybe practice some acting as well as he tends to become quite monotone and quiet. Other than that he's got a quite pleasant voice ^^

An okay story, terrible narration.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I think it's an okay story line, though I have a problem with the dialogue between the protagenist and her children. It's repetitive and doesn't reflect how daughters and mothers usually talk to each others. I know my mother never really talked to me like Lisa talks to her daughters and I've never heard other mothers talk to their children like Lisa. My mother doesn't have just one! nickname for me, it's a whole slew of nicknames!
Lisa comes off as a one-note mother.

What didn’t you like about Commodore James and Laura Jennings ’s performance?

James' performance is in no way amazing, I've heard youtubers do a far better job than him, but Laura is so emotionless and flat that James comes off as fantastic! I mean had she even get any practise in reading a story? Did she even practise reading the book or did she think the first take was all fine? I feel like James and Laura did in no way think about how their performance would sound like to the listners.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Boring half the time.

Any additional comments?

This story deserves a re-recording.
