Novel's narrator not nifty

It is a good story. But the narration was distracting, which is not a good thing in an audio book. The background noise sometimes sounded like the book was recorded in a restaurant kitchen with clinking pots and pans; or had music that added nothing to the narration or story line; or blissful silence...there was no consistency. The narrator, Mr. Deaver Brown, has a unique voice and delivery. Perhaps he had a bad case of indigestion which made the words and phrasing poorly spaced, sometimes slurred, and occasionally mispronounced. Maybe he was tired and on the verge of yawning constantly. I know he has narrated many books, and so I am willing to assume that he can be quite good...but, based on this book, I will avoid buying books narrated by Mr. Brown.
