Fun story but read by a mush mouth

Would you try another book from Edward Bolme and/or Jean Brassard?

The story is fine enough but this reading was just too painful. It grated on me about every 10 seconds when he would talk in his feminine voice.

What didn’t you like about Jean Brassard’s performance?

Limited annunciation, clarity , and an inability to be understood when he draws out any word.

story was good enough but narration was awful.

I can say the story was pretty good and I could have liked it better if it wasn't so poorly narrated. the droning and sentence blended speech made this one hard to finish. I can just say I will definitely not get any other books with this narrator and leave it at that. sorry to the author for the rating.
