Poor narration

Revisado: 03-06-25

I have read almost all of Susanna Kearsley’s books. As usual, they are slow to develop, though the writing is very good. I am only 25% into the book so the story has not really developed yet, and this is not a review on the story, only on the narration should you decide between the book and audiobook. Keep to the book. The male narrator’s voice sounds too old for a young man in his late 20s. He also does a terrible rendition of the Scottish accent. He just tries too hard. The female voice just cannot do male voices.

Awful narration

Revisado: 05-27-23

Awful narrator who sounds like a stuck up noble. She does decent accents but I could not stand the voice of Nicola. Story is just meh. Slow-developing. I gave up after about 75% of the book. Skipped to the last 2 chapters and don’t think I missed much.

Just ok

Revisado: 05-02-23

Excellent narration, but long and boring story. This is just a one-time read for me.

Could have more potential

Revisado: 03-02-23

The story had a lot of potential. Unfortunately it has moments that could have been better. The narrator did a great job with the narration and Nicholas’ voice. I did not like the voice for Dougless.

Excellent narration

Revisado: 02-26-23

Yolonda Kettle is by far my favorite narrator of Persuasion (and I have several audiobooks of Persuasion). She does each voice so well with enough distinction that keeps the story so alive. The voice for Anne could have been softer as Anne is a sweet and tender but assertive girl. But the voice she does for Captain Wentworth is what make me give this audiobook a 5, masculine enough but oh so suave when he reads his letter to Anne.

Narration is not good

Revisado: 12-19-22

The story is ok. Not as good as the first book, the story between Leah and Fox. This one takes too slow to develop. This review is mainly about the audio part of the book. The narrator can only do 1 voice. She can do an ok Scottish accent but all characters get the same voice with no difference, man or woman, old or young. The narrator also tries too hard just to narrate. I did no like her as that takes away from the story. I wish I did not buy the audiobook but just the free kindle version.

Great book

Revisado: 06-06-22

This is a great book. The story is amazing. The narrator does an excellent job with different voices but her voice as the narrator was a tad annoying. But overall this is a great story!

Narrator too chirpy

Revisado: 02-23-22

This is the same narrator for the book “the girl who escaped from Auschwitz”. I should have looked it up before buying the audiobook. This narrator is terrible for telling books about Jews and nazi Germany. She sounds way too chirpy for tragic stories. Will read the book instead of listening. (Drove me nuts that she pronounces the name “Hans” “the same way we say Hands”)

Awful

Revisado: 03-02-21

This is an awful narration. The story is great as most of Agatha Christie’s books, but the narrator is just awful. What is most annoying is why does he speak whispering in a loud voice and the way he does Lettice’s voice!!! Trying way too hard, it is just unnatural!!
