horrible narration

I couldn't finish this book. I love poetry and love hearing poetry recited almost as much. and while it's understandable to give wide latitude for different recitals and style, this narrator was not bearable for me. trying so hard to be dramatic that it is actually comic. I actually thought maybe it was a spoof of poetry recitals. I would rather she let the poetry speak for itself.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
