Unbearable Narrator ruins experience

Narrator has no life or emotion and the reading is so dull and flat that a computer voice would have been more interesting. This narrator should be banned from narrating any other books. Don’t ruin another story with this unbearable voice.

Regrettably, it sounds like a midi reader

The reader appears very accomplished, so I hesitate to write this negative review. His pronunciation is clear and articulate, but the reading is choppy and awkward. It actually sounds like a computer is reading the book. I'm afraid I couldn't finish.
