Great book but horrible narrator.

Revisado: 06-02-22

I read this series a long time ago and loved it. I have enjoyed listening to the books very much right up until this one. I never like it when a series changes narrators part way through. It disrupts the story when the next narrator pronounces things differently. I find myself saying in my head, "that's now how you say that" after having heard it one way for several books only for it to suddenly change. However, it's not just that this time. Larry McKeever is just plain awful and I doubt he'd do better with any book except maybe non-fiction. He is very monotone with extremely little inflection. He enunciates almost every word as if it were the first time he's ever said it. I do love the story, but it's very hard listening to it with this narrator.

Love the books. Dislike the narrator change.

I really like these books and I've listened from the beginning but changing narrators in book 15 and then again in book 16 was really annoying. These last two narrators have changed the pronunciation of all of the names and the voices aren't even close to what I got used to hearing. After listening to the first 14 books in a row from the same narrator, it's now annoying me when things get pronounced "wrong". Of the character voice changes the one that annoys be most is that suddenly the SADES are very mechanical sounding when they never were before. I am a big Science Fiction fan and I listen to audio books everyday on my way back and forth to work. I have dropped listening to a book series before because the narrator changed and the continuity of names and voices changed too much. It'll be sad if I end up doing this with this one because I really do enjoy the story itself.

Great story....bad narrator

Revisado: 08-06-15

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator was very hard to listen to. The inflections in her voice were annoying, confusing and made it hard to get into the story as much. Too many pauses between words that were not needed. Almost seemed like what I'd call overacting like the way people make fun of William Shatner as Kirk with the two words..pause...two more words ....pause....etc.

Any additional comments?

The story itself was a great one and I'll listen to more as it comes out even with the awful narrator.
