The narrator is awful

Can’t finish audiobook because narrator reads at a snails pace. It’s terrible, takes several minutes to read a half page. I never heard anything this bad before. It could easily be narrated in 1/4 of the time that this guy does it in. It’s borderline egregious. Stay a way unless you have nothing but time
