The background music

The background music was very distracting and wasn’t even like quiet or calm it was upbeat and loud and totally over shadowed the narrator. Couldn’t even finish the first chapter because it was so distracting and had to buy a new version.

Very Bad

Could not hear the performance over the music. The reading was off time. No voice changing for the different characters.

Love this story just not this narration

I love this story. Just not this narration. The background music is awful. I tried to listen to it and had to quit after 18 minutes.

Drum Track

Was English the narrator’s second language? Who puts a drum track down on an audible book. This was possibly the worst performance I have ever endured...all 3 minutes that I listened.
