Ugh. The dreaded mid-series narrator-change strikes again

Revisado: 06-12-22

Excellent books. A large, complex, beautiful world, fully formed, interesting characters. Very well told, and delightfully cohesive, without GRR Martin’s malicious arrogance, and obvious contempt for his readers. This is all going so well. Hey! I know!!! Let’s change narrators!!! The new guy should be someone who has two, maybe three character voices, all male, and can’t remember which accent a character was using in the last sentence!!! Yes, that’s exactly what we should do!!! Oh, and he should definitely pronounce names, place-names, and all other words differently each time!!! WHY DOES AUDIBLE DO THIS!?!?!? AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!

Becomes steadily unlistenable

Quite possibly one of the top three worst narrators I’ve ever heard on Audible. Probably a good story. Gonna have to just buy the book.

Just can’t get past the horrid narrator

This might or might not be a good book. It’s impossible to tell, due to the utterly dismal narration. Buy it and read it instead.

Why!?!?

This could be a really good book...I’m going to have to read it, though. The bumbling, braying, mush-mouthed performance, which has come to be Ralph Cosham’s signature, makes any story, no matter how good, utterly unlistenable.

Delightfully informative...

The closest thing to an honest look at the fall of France, that I’ve come across. Definitely recommend it!

Simplistic drivel

If you’re a pre junior-high illiterate, who doesn’t mind being blatantly patronized, this book is for you.

Save your money, and buy the actual book.

I've listened to thousands of hours of Audiobooks. While I've come to be rather inured to the occasional horrible narration, I couldn't get past the first hour of this story. I mean seriously. Doesn't anyone vet these guys, or can just anyone off the street come in and somehow slur through his teeth and his nose, at the same time?

For those who would know

An interesting, of not un-biased, account of the unrest, suffering, and pain of inter-war Europe.

If there was an option to give the performance negative stars, I would do it.

The narrator should be chained to a wall, kept awake for weeks on end, and forced to listen to his narration until he cracks, and collapses into a blubbering heap of broken humanity. Seriously. Where do they find these "performers"? Do they just walk down the street, choosing people at random? Christ...nothing like wasting your money on a decent book, rendered unlistenable by an utterly incompetent narrator. Do yourself a favor, read the book.

Might be a good read.

Revisado: 12-06-15

The narrator's condescending, bored, uninspired performance utterly destroys any possibility of enjoying this story. The tone the narrator sets, is one of an indifferent teacher, reading a despised story, to a roomful of imbeciles. Seriously, if the narrator's internal monologue is in any way similar to his performance in this story, he'd best be put on suicide watch.
