Reseñas editoriales

At the Indy 500, exchanges between drivers off the track can be as explosive as those on the track, and Tony Carnaghi's lively and animated reading of Jack Arute and Jenna Fryer's book transports the listener to the front row of the action.

A single wrong turn, improper pass, or blown tire can spell defeat in the race, but they can also easily result in peril. Arute and Fryer expertly capture the drama and volatility of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" with this collection of riveting stories, and Carnaghi elevates their prose with a performance that makes it difficult to stop listening after hitting play.

Awesome stories about the inner workings of the Indy 500 and the teams/crews that make the show such a spectacle. I only wish that the narrator could have done just a little bit of research and not butcher so many names like Kanaan, Franchitti, and Ganassi (just to name a few).

Great stories, but my gosh the pronunciation

Very unique perspective and great stories.
P the narrator mispronounced a lot of driver names, but they are hard to pronounce.
Over all amazing.

A must read for race fans

I’ve attended or watched the 500 festivities and races for over 60 years. I learned a lot of behind the scenes activities. In absolutely No Way would Jack Arute butcher driver, crew chief, owner and sponsor names. Jack was a respected announcer during race times. The narrator didn’t put forth effort to know his material and he degraded the sport.

Good Story Collection Mangled by Narrator

The stories presented by Arute in this memoire are fantastic! Any fan of the Indy 500 will truly enjoy these accounts.

However, the narrator butchered MANY of the names of the racers and the series. I’m pretty disappointed that these great stories were jaded by so many mispronunciations.

If you can get past that, you’ll enjoy the book.

Great stories, bad narration

Unbelievably dreadful. Interesting stories, but no continuity. And the performance; absolutely awful! The mispronouncing of names and cars is astounding. Doesn’t anyone “proofread” audio books? If I was the author I would demand a redo.

Dreadful

If you love the Indy 500. You’ll will love this book. Stories never told by the man who lived it.

stories good although left out many important stories, pronunciation by narrator was very much off course

good stories

I thought the stories were very good but the performance was terrible. The narrator mispronounced so many things I could not believe it. He pronounced Dan Wheldon's name "wheel-don." He also kept saying U-S-A-C instead of U-SAC. I guess the producers of the audio book do not know anything about Indy car racing.

Very good!

Great first person account of Jack Arute's many years at Indy. The audio book was ruined by the narrator's lack of familiarity with the subject matter. So many names were mispronounced. Poor, poor editing.

Horrible Narrator

The story is pretty good! We found most of the names of people mentioned in the book were mispronounced. It was very distracting to hear the stories not realizing who the story was about because of these glaring errors. I am new to audio books, I tend to lean towards reading. I joined audible to enjoy books while traveling in the car. My guess is that audible books are not edited as carefully as books? Fortunately I am very familiar with the subject matter of this book, otherwise this book would have been a complete waste of time. Almost humorous and a bit of a puzzle to solve listening.

Mispronounced names throughout the story
