Worst British accent in the history of narration.

Revisado: 11-19-22

Crazy that British characters feature prominently in this story and the narrator’s inability to do a British accent was apparently not a consideration.

So gross, sometimes I wanted to puke.

I thought I would read this before watching the movie because I like to know what to expect. Now I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the movie coz this really grossed me out and scared me.

Very enjoyable!

Revisado: 04-25-17

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Got through it quite quickly. Nice back-and-forth between the two female protagonists with some sharp commentary on women's roles and social expectations of the time.
I really like the murder mystery genre and the characters were likable. I'll be continuing with the next in the series.

The narrator

Revisado: 01-15-17

Sweet Georgia Brown, this narrator. For a book set in Wales the producers of this audiobook don't seem to have put much stock in making sure the narrator could do a Welsh, Irish,
Scottish or even passable English accent.
Don't get me wrong, the parts where an American was talking were performed in an engaging and entertaining way but anytime anyone other than the protagonist or his father were speaking the accents were distractingly bad.
In some cases he Britishised words that British people don't even say differently to Americans. 'Back' became 'baaaahck' and 'have' became 'haaahve'.
The story was entertaining by the time I only had a couple hours left I was groaning in frustration. If you have the choice just read it yourself.

Wretched

Revisado: 03-24-16

Thanks to Audible I was finally able to finish this book after many false starts. It's so dense to read but listening is much easier.
What a wretched story though. I had somehow gotten the impression that is was a romantic story but it has made me thoroughly depressed. Still, it is considered "required reading" and I'm glad I've got through this classic.
I really enjoyed the performance of the narrator though at one point I could hear her chair creaking at she leaned away from the mic to shout something. I'm not complaining though, the book was only $2.
