A terrible listen for any Spanish speakers

I got this book with high hopes after just having listened to a couple of other audible productions, This was sorely disappointing, since the beginning the reader sounds like a generic British accented computer generated reader. The pronunciation of the god's names is terrible and it changes constantly, sometimes within the same sentence. I would suggest spending a little bit more in production values and getting a person familiar with Nahuatl phonetics and do a better job at this. This is so bad that it makes it nearly impossible to follow without laughing involuntarily, or even understanding what or who the book is talking about.
I see this as a great disrespect for the source material and the culture that you are writing about.

unlistenable

the narrators voice is so awful & offensive to the information this books holds I cannot even listen to it & it's the stories of my heritage. This needs to be recorded by an Indigenous person.
I would return it if I could because I will not listen to it.

Native speaker

Please get someone who knows the correct pronunciation!! The information is great but lack of correct pronunciation tales away from the overall experience

narration was horrible

Narrator should have taken the time to learn to pronounce words and names right. Disappointing.

good information

good information bad choice of narrator difficult to understand some of the words he is saying

Narrator Problem

The narrator choice for this material is the worst don't bother with this reading.

its ok.....i guess

I think the narrator needs to do a little bit more research on the way that certain words are pronounced and maybe somebody without a different accent in their speech would be a lot better

Very Informative! I learned a lot.

The book was great! The narrator has a nice voice, and reads the material smoothly, however, he lacks the pronounciation for this geographical region.

Pronounce

I enjoyed the book but the narrator was not able to pronounce the names properly. It would have more enjoyable if he pronounced the names correctly. Had I known I would not have bought the book and for now on I will listen to the clips so I can hear what the book sounds like. Lesson learned

awesome full of information 👌

loved how it was full of information and the way it was laid out. awesome job

The Aztecs were cruel

They worshipped certain gods and goddesses with human sacrifices. It's crazy to think that people thought this way.
