Rough listen.

Narrator sounds like he’s having a god damn stroke with each word he reads. Rough listen. Why the random piano track?

The worst narrator yet encountered

His phrasing makes it unintelligible. Backing music is annoying, but biggest problem is where he placed emphasis in the sentence. Choppy and flat. Probably attempting to be conversational and folksy, but just terrible. I've listened to over 100 audio books and I'm not exaggerating to say this is the worst performance. I bought this on a whim and made the mistake of not listening to a sample. Avoid.

poor sound quality and music in background

terrible recording quality and music playing throughout. almost impossible to pay attention to the words.

Terrible narration

Narrator can’t read for an audience. No pacing or timing. Stubbles over words. Not professionally recorded.

Not worth it.

The cadence is weird, the narrator seems to struggle at times, and there is a terrible music in the background. I couldn't finish.
