The narration is horrid

Y’know the voice on a recording when you’re trying to call the DMV? This is she.
Also:
I often hear mispronunciations in narrations; that’s to be expected. Big words are hard.
But fillet? As in fillet of fish?
I hate to break it to her, but it’s not “fill it.”
I couldn’t recover from that error.

A Load of Hooey for Sure Unless You Love Extra ..

I love Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman. It's not fair of me to pan this book since I did not finish it. Gawd, I did try. It's hard to write a whole book. At least Bob wrote a whole book, and that I will commend. I'm probably the wrong reader for it.

Horrible Narration

I couldn't finish the last 52 minutes. I tried, I swear. The breathy, grunty finish to almost every sentence became so distracting that I couldn't even focus on the water on the galley deck. I'm a former sailor & she distracted me from the wreck. Awful.
