Someone with an older and more theatrical voice

I wish I had read this in print instead of listening to it. I had to remind myself to pay attention to the story since the narrator's voice was totally wrong for the content. Her intonations, her cheeriness and timing were all off for this story.

Beautifully written -- lyrical, one might say -- with a story that unfolds as quietly and unexpectedly as a flower. It's suddenly there, and you know so much about the characters' lives without being aware of that unfolding. The reader has an exceptionally pleasant voice, and a style of delivery perfectly suited to the material. A great experience overall.

This is such a wonderfully well written book, with the most beautiful display of how to manipulate the english language. Every word seemed to be specially crafted in place to be a true work of art. The perfomance was good, mostly because of the flow of the story and the descriptions in the novel.

I was waiting for the point of this book, but it never came. The story was so blah and uninteresting that I had to listen to parts multiple times because it didn't keep my attention. And believe me, I didn't WANT to listen multiple times! The writing was the only decent thing about the book.
