John

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

no, it was over 11 hours

you should have hired the same narrator for the "One Year After" book. The "performer" you got to do it was abysmal. Don't listen to the next book. Read it.

This narrator is abysmal

Revisado: 12-23-15

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The narrator of the first audiobook was great, this guy is so bad, it is almost as if it were a SNL skit or something.

Has One Year After turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, just anything done by the narrator.

What didn’t you like about Bronson Pinchot’s performance?

So over the top on the stereotypical southern accents and all the characters started to sound the same by the end of the performance.

Was One Year After worth the listening time?

no, read it instead

Any additional comments?

As probably the only person who has listened to the "After" series as well as the "Shades of Grey" audiobooks, Audible should do what they did after the first narration of Shades. It was so bad, they recast the performance and gave everyone who had purchased the original a free credit.

What made the experience of listening to Fifty Shades Darker the most enjoyable?

Love the narrator, but her male voices are comical. Was very satisfying to see the story arc

What did you like best about this story?

Anastasia getting in Mrs Robinson's face

Have you listened to any of Becca Battoe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

love her

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

See...?? Christian is not as f**ked up as you thought

Any additional comments?

To all those who hated the book and/or narration, please; get over your bad selves. This is a mindless summer read for goodness sake, not Proust. Agreed, you could start a new drinking game based on the limited vocabulary; take a shot every time Becca Battoe says " oh my", "hooded eyes", "prickling scalp", or "my sex". EVERY person I know who has read this book has seen significant "fringe benefits".
