Hard to listen to Narration

Was hoping that by book 2 the narration would get better but it has not. I find myself at times wanting to give the narrator a rescue inhaler. The reading is choppy as if a middle schooler is being made to read aloud in front of the class. The gulping for air between words and pausing in mid sentence as if turning the page to find the next word makes following the storyline hard, also it seems like she changes how she pronounces certain words and names throughout the reading. Not to mention the monotone.

Awesome story, reading needs a bit more life

I truly love this story and this was my first time listening to it rather than reading. The reader wasn’t bad, though she could have added a bit more life or emotion to the reading. Other than that, great job.

Missing details, monotonous narrative

For supposed ice age based on a hunting people, the background details are sketchy at best. While Jean M Auel gets a bit carried away with the background details at times, this series lacks all the requisite background to frame the series into n ancient past. It could just as easily have been 200 years ago as 9,000 years. The narration continues in such a monotonous voice that it is a terrific cure for insomnia. At least all the "taking of women" avoids graphic details.

fabulous

I've read this multiple times, but this was the first time I've listened on audio. This made a huge difference in the story, and totally transported me. The pronunciations I had gotten wrong so many times were wonderful to hear. Loved this.

love this series

Some would say negative this about this series because of some rough situations the young women endure but the bigger picture is inspiring. shows how this you Ng woman has a straight like no other and how she helps herself. She is strong. She is a mother. She is clever.

Like I said, there are some parts hard to hear but the author does this delicately. I recommend a listen, get to the end. You won't regret it.

My phone nly grip is hearing the cars zooming past in the background when the narrator is speaking. You don't hear it unless you're using earbuds but it can be distracting.

Last one I will purchase an audio version of.

After reading the 1st in this series narrated by the same person I swore I would never buy another. Decided to give her a 2nd chance and will be reading vs listening. This narrator is so monotone, nasally and lacks horribly. I was so annoyed I gave up and bought the Kindle reader version. Much better experience and story.
