Don't Bother

The story itself didn't grab my attention, but I still would have finished it if the pronunciations from the narrator weren't so bad.

Meh...

A rather mediocre personal travel log and a pretty poor audio reading. there were some interesting historical tidbits and a few insightful commentaries on what the author observed. however there's really nothing remarkable about this story nor does it make me want to watch the documentary. finally, the reader had a very annoying habit of over pronouncing many of the words and names. and often his pronunciation was incorrect. this made it a very hard book to listen to since the reader did not have a full command of Italian pronunciation.
