The Jungle Book Audiobook

I did not like the narration. It was too quite and had way too much bass. The narrator has weird breaks or pauses in his sentences. I may have enjoyed reading it better.

Can't decipher

I wish we could get a refund. Although the narrator has a wonderful voice, his voice is too deep to understand all the words from the recording. Our family couldn't hear the story and we didn't even get through the first chapter.

Didn’t like the narrator

No matter how much I turn the bass down in our car, this book makes the speakers shake because his voice is so low!

Impossible to understand!

I was really excited to start this book but I stopped 30 minutes in since I could not understand one full sentence! The voice is so bassy! It sounded good on my good quality speakers when I tried the sample but I realized my mistake as soon as I started listening to it with my earbuds. I ditched this audio book and bought Peter Batchelor's version in order to finish the book.

The Narrarator is too bassy for my small speakers

I listened on small computer speakers and it was to bassy to hear well over welding at work.

Great Book - Terrible Reader

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The reader sounded like he was out of breath. The pauses were in all the wrong places and the inflection was all over the place. Ex. Instead of simply reading "Messua was kind to me", the reader reads, "Messua was kiiiiind (stretching out the word "kind")..then pause....to me"

Audio very hard to understand

The book was good, but the narrator was awful. very hard to understand him. The space between sentences was negligible, so it was really hard to tell where one sentence began and another ended. I had to read along in the book to understand what he was saying. His enunciation isn't clear.
Great story, but find another narrator.
