The narrator RUINED this.....!
What disappointed you about The Scorpio Illusion?
The narrator's voice sounded like a mix of a computerised spectrum digital voice v Stephen Hawkins!. No emotional voice acting and a hugely monotonous tone. I had to switch off and was left majorly disappointed as I was looking forward to this story!!!!Get the narrator changed! Long live David Rintoul!!!!
Would you ever listen to anything by Robert Ludlum again?
Not unless there was a good narrator
How could the performance have been better?
Have someone like David rintoul narrating
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger!, frustration and lots of swearing at how awful it was.....
