Fascinating story and content, terrible narration.

Revisado: 07-17-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would probably not recommend this to a friend as an audiobook because the narration was so poor--bad enough that I very nearly stopped listening during the first chapter. I pushed on because the content and story was of great interest to me, and I'm glad that I finished simply because I think this is an important history. But seeing Gayle Hendrix as a narrator will be enough to prevent me from buying any other book she has narrated.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

It was a little like fingernails on a chalkboard. Very hard to keep listening. Eventually I got accustomed to her inability to read sentences with any natural, human inflection, but it took quite a while. And I'll avoid anything narrated by her in the future.

Any additional comments?

I would only purchase this audiobook if you are deeply invested in the story and content AND if you simply must listen to it, rather than read it. If you have the option of reading instead of listening, do yourself a favor and buy a hard copy or ebook instead.
