I bought this to run lines for the play. I am/was Officer Klein. This play/book is so funny, but this narrator is the absolute worst I have ever heard.

The narrator is HORRIBLE!

I really like the story, but the narrator is not good at all. he tries to do different voices for each character... but they're awful! the accents and women's voices are cringe worthy.

Good story, bad narrator

This is a great story. Let me start off right there, it is classic and iconic,the narrator on the other hand… I’m pretty sure he just wanted into a studio one day and I’ll record audiobook. He’s horrible. his voices are subpar. His characterization of people is ridiculous. I made it through about 45 minutes and I had to shut it off. Do not waste your time. I don’t know where these five star reviews of this are coming from. Bought it for line memorization and it would be OK for that if you could get past his horrid performance.

I’d love my mon y back

This was the worst reading I've ever heard! The aunts, from Brooklyn, sound like Southerners, e.g. I could go on and on
