Redo after finishing the story

OK, so first and foremost I still do not mind the narrator for this one. As stated in my previous review.
After a few minutes I started spending time trying to return the book. The only reasons I stayed with it is because I wanted to continue the story. And it was too annoying to get the refund.

Now the narrator seems great in a number of ways however he does seem unprofessional. There are times where you listen to him yawn or stretch, or other random noises. He gives off the feeling of someone reading to a bunch of toddlers in the library..

Now into the story. Overall, the story was much what I expected. The only thing that led to confusion is when they started talking about different alien troops. No description of water Stomper was, for example. I don’t know if it came out in this book and I glazed over it because of the narrator, or if it was just left out. But that was rather frustrating, most of the rest was not too bad, I can’t really give a better description, however, I am looking forward to more of the story, although I can definitely say I know better writers

How to get a great night sleep from the Narrator!

Just to be blunt here! Change the narrator and go back to using Renee Maxwell. This man voice is so monotone that after four or five minutes I was asleep, out like a light. I notice also that he seen not into the story line of the book. Which has been great so far. Between what I can only assume to be background noises and the fact that I do not like someone reading to me as if I were a child. I stuck out the whole book (going back to missed chapters) and found the story line good. Would have been great with the right voice and a little enthusiasm. I love the series just not the guy doing the narration.
