High school level writing

Felt like I was listening to a high school essay. I could almost hear every time he used the thesaurus. Narration was poor. Narrator could be heard breathing. Distracting. Stories were old and seemed more focused on author researching info and not much in it for the listener.

Boring

I made it to chapter 10 and just couldn’t take it anymore.
The final straw was hearing the narrator swallow between sentences.
