Great series, not fond of the reader

Revisado: 01-28-20

This is a great series, but I much prefer other readers who have not, unfortunately recorded the whole series. Mr Jason is so overly affected in his delivery as to do a disservice to Proust. He makes the narrator out to be a very unlikable character, which is not the case with more sympathetic readers. I listened to the whole series, but had to try and ignore the voice of the reader. I hope one day soon a better reader will record the series.

Excellent book, annoying reader

Revisado: 05-10-19

This is a well-reserached and well-written book undone by a most annoying reader who pauses to over-prounounces every "foreign" name and phrase. Are there not editors who listen to these things before committing a whole book to such a terrible presentation? Buy the book, it is great. I did finish it and kind of blocked out the terrible reading, but it should never have been recorded with Corrie James.

Great novel, annoying reader

Revisado: 03-18-16

I much prefer the John Rowe read versions, but he has not recorded all of the books. Neville Jason gives a very stilted and affected reading that is just annoying to listen to. He makes the narrator into a totally shallow and even silly character, which may not be entirely out of character but sure is hard to listen to. John Rowe creates a more engaging character and a much more pleasant listening experience for my ears.

Great series

Revisado: 07-03-15

This has been well reviewed by others and it is a great series. The only negative is the lack of the supplemental material which could easily be provided but is not. Why the publisher has denied purchasers this material is a mystery. It is technically very easy and would cost nothing.

Interesting story

Revisado: 05-27-15

Much better than the movie! A well-crafted bio of an interesting character. Perhaps too much soap-opera but keeps you reading. The technical side is glossed over, but it is a bio, not a technical treatise.

A good story

Revisado: 05-27-15

A nice addition to the Sean Duffy saga. Gerard Doyle is the perfect reader for these stories.

Another good story

Revisado: 05-27-15

Adrian McKinty tells a good story. And Gerard Doyle is the perfect reader. Great to find such a good combination. It does not always happen. If you like his other work, you will like this one as well.

Worst reader ever

Revisado: 05-27-15

The book is pretty good, but this is the worst reader I have ever heard. Why does someone with such a cloying voice get hired to read a book? Painful. If there were negative stars I would give them. Almost unbearable. I will never buy another book read by Scott Brick. Sorry not to say more about the actual story, but it is just impossible to get past the terrible reading.

Excellent book

Revisado: 05-27-15

This is a good listen. Interesting material and from a real participant. Always nice to hear the actual author read the book.

Good material, terrible reader

Revisado: 09-13-14

These are good stories and I am using them to help build my comprehension of Spanish. Unfortunately, for me anyhow, the reader is very annoying. A shrill childish voice that is grating and actually makes it harder to understand the stories. I will look for something similar with a better reader.
