Please, Rachel McAdams?

I had just listened to Rachel McAdams read Anne of Green Gables, which is exquisitely done, and needed to listen to this one for a book club. I couldn’t. The narrator has entirely the wrong voice for this story. It might be great for other stories, but for this one it was just grating. So, please, can Rachel McAdams finish off the series for us? Please?

Annoying

The narration by Mary Sarah is so annoying that it spoils a lovely book. I love this series and thoroughly enjoyed book one narrated by Rachael McAdams but can't stand listening to this one. The voice sounds far too old for 16 year old Anne, the accent is entirely inappropriate for the location of the books and there is no sign of Anne's joyous and lively personality. Mary Sarah's voice is more suited to a prim, elderly spinster.

Wish Mary Sarah would read more of the Anne series

Love Mary Sarah narrating the Anne books. A pleasure listening to the happenings in Avonlea and so disappointed she hasn't read more of the books.

Pure poetry

A fabulous performance of this great classic. This story is timeless and a joy to listen to again and again.

OK but not as good as the first

The story just wasn't as good as the first book but Mary Sarah's narration is still wonderful. My primary complaint is that she has apparently not narrated any more of this series so I'll have to flip a coin to see which of the several different editions of the next books I'll be buying. But putting my annoyances aside, I'm still enjoying this series in spite of (or perhaps because of) it's archaic language and culture.

Horrid Narration

This narration was so wretched that I purchased a different version after listening to about two hours of it. No differentiation between different character's voices, weird rhythm/phrasing, and the only audiobook I've encountered that has errors in it (she misread a phrase and read it again but they didn't erase the mistake). Save your dollar and get a better version!!!

Pathetic narration !

Anne series is one of my family favorites - but this narrator is pathetic. Reader clips and chops phrases and sentences - hard to listen. Absolutely NO scope of imagination!

Wonderful book and great reader!

I love Anne! And now I've got my kids to love her too. Sarah was a perfect narrator and we truly enjoyed it.
