The narrator’s effusive style is distracting.

I imagine that if I were a french-speaking teenager, I’d find the narration exciting to listen to. Monsieur Giraudeau does distinctive voices for each character, and reads with much drama. But as a learner, I found this distracting.

Narration is Annoying

I LOVE Harry Potter and have read and listened to them in English multiple times. This is my second time trying to read and listen in French. I really tried the first time but found the voices of the beloved characters so annoying I couldn't listen anymore. I'm trying again for the sake of improving my French but it's not easy. This time as I read along, I've noticed that the narrator also omits words and entire sentences fairly often and I am only on Chapter Four. As other reviewers have said, Mr.Giraudeau reads very quickly and mumbles. I'm happy to see that the narrator changes halfway through the series as I'm not sure I'll be able to listen to any others he narrates.

Thought I was on 2x speed

It may just be because this is my first time listening to the book in French but the narrator read incredibly fast and I was constantly checking to make sure that I didn’t accidentally increase the speed. Also sounds a little slurred. So I would have to slow down to 0.7 just to see where I was.

The characters voices!

I absolutely loved how the narrator had very distinct voices for each character. I'm learning French so was reading along in the book as I'm listening to the narrator. I loved how even if I didn't know exactly what he was saying I could recognize each character. The narrator did a fabulous job. It was very entertaining

Bernard is annoying.

The narrator start well and then switch to acting for the worst. C'est dommage le début est bien. Mais la succession de personnages et de voix rendent le récit brouillon et parfois pénible à écouter.
