Poor quality audio

Revisado: 07-22-21

I'm not sure if this is an old recording but the audio levels need to be normalized. I found myself changing the volume constantly. You can tell parts were recorded non-chronologically and edited back in, possibly using different equipment

Recording needs work

Revisado: 10-15-19

Could there be more of a gap between the end of the chapter and the start? It seems like the end of the chapter and beginning of the next are within the same sentence and it diminishes the impact of the end of a chapter

Broken Recordings

Revisado: 06-25-19

It's odd. The Narrator goes through the story as if he's reading a Superman story over 1920s radio. "Our hero leaves the shop.." etc. in this vintage tone. It doesn't seem to match the story at all.

Also, there are regular cuts and breaks in the audio where I can't tell if it's an editing error or if there is some corruption in the file itself. Every time it happens it's very jarring and makes me lose my place in an already confusing/boring story. Just not for me.

Narrator never pauses

Revisado: 04-24-19

The reading was very rushed. In the same breath the reader would end a short story and introduce and start the new one

Interesting but narration not so good

Revisado: 12-03-18

Carol Queen should have had a professional do the reading. It's funny to me that the narration could make this subject feel dry when it's far from it. No pun intended.

great narration from the author

Revisado: 08-15-18

The reading is very enthusiastic especially since it's written from the author's perspective. I thought it was an interesting list or anecdotes while still being informative of the sex-positive feminist perspective

Better than the physical book

Revisado: 05-12-15

What made the experience of listening to Pygmy the most enjoyable?

The descriptions of the American lifestyle through the eyes of a disgusted foreigner are illuminating. The simplistic style the author uses to denote the narrator's unfamiliarity with the language structure of english throughout the book is unique.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Pygmy?

The shocking way the author establishes the character in a not-so-savory encounter with a bully in the bathroom shows us the tendencies of the main character borders on sociopathic, at least towards his hated enemies: the Americans.

If you could rename Pygmy, what would you call it?

Operation *Redacted* - A love story

Any additional comments?

I saw this book at B&N one day. Chuck P. is my favorite author but the way the book is written irked the grammar nazi in me. I would be so distracted (unintentionally proof-)reading it that I would not be able to focus on the story itself. Listening on the ebook made that a much simpler ordeal to endure.
