terrible terrible voice acting

the speech impediments make me crazy I don't know why she felt the need to give people speech impediments or everybody sounds like Eliza Doolittle nothing in between

The Thought of Another Man Touching Her Made Her “Thick”

“Thick”? “Thick”?! Oh!!!! Ok. “Sick”.

I had to rewind just to understand Sadie and what she was trying to say!! Oh my goodness!! Why, oh why, would a narrator throw in a speech impediment that’s not part of the storyline?! Just for fun?!! And why was this allowed?!

The story was a good one, continuing the saga of the Harper Girls. I particularly liked the stories of Maggie and Marion. The scenes of nursing in a field hospital are vivid and easy to imagine!

But the narration was absolutely lacking. Sadie and Kathy spoke so slowly and in such monotone voices that I was immediately reminded of Kerry in the tv show In Country. (Only Kerry is funny!)

I’m only working my way through the series because I like the storylines but in all honesty I almost DNF due to the narration.

Story good but narration lacking

Narration of mens characters bad as well as expression of words that make characters sound very simple

Wonderful story, poor narrator

This narrator was not good with accents and was difficult to understand at times. I wish the the narrator of earlier books had carried on with this one. I struggled through the horrible accents because the story was so good

Love the Series!

I have enjoyed this series so far; however, what happened with the narration? All the sudden everything changed and it made it more confusing to keep up with the characters and some of the voices were terrible.
