good content- bad narration

Revisado: 08-23-19

I like the content of this book, it has some good and useful words that you might not come across in other audiobooks teaching German. But as some other reviewers also pointed out the person who speaks German in the audio is very low-energy and sometimes you'd think she's depressed and about to burst into tears.
The audio book kind of puts a damper on your mood. I wish they redo the book with a more enthusiastic narrator

Any additional comments?

First I thought this book was commissioned by the Royal Family of England, then I thought it was commissioned by the Israel government.
In terms of suspense and thriller , it was way below what I expected . I am not familiar with this author's other works , but I bought it because I thought it was a thriller. It did not thrill me much.

It is among the top audible books I have read

This story is a beautiful way of showing the flaws in everyone, and showing what is important in life, and what has to be ignored.

The performance is wonderful and carries you through the story very seamlessly. It is easy to understand which if the characters is talking.

horrible narration/performance

Revisado: 09-26-13

Would you listen to The Witness again? Why?

No.I totally dislike the voice that tells the story, it's so slow . Seems the focus is on enunciation of words rather than giving a soul to the material read. very flat.

Would you be willing to try another book from Nora Roberts? Why or why not?

maybe, with a different performer/narrator

How could the performance have been better?

the performer has to learn how to perform with emotion and carry the correct pace of the text.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no

Any additional comments?

This is the BEST relationship book

Revisado: 01-29-13

Any additional comments?

I loved this book. It tells you how it is, does not try to teach you how to play a game or become someone else for the sake of love. A very different book on understanding the undercurrents of a relationship. Anybody I recommended this book to, thanked me afterwards , and in turn recommended to other friends. thumbs up!
